Bear Yuba Land Trust - Wildflower Ridge Prescribed burn with crew, November 2025

This was a successful prescribed burn across 4 acres of treated forest. Utilizing funds from the Office of Emergency Services from County of Nevada, CA, BYLT was able to partner with Nevada County Resource Conservation District and First Rain Farm Land Stewardship.Efforts like these contribute to building a healthy, resilient forest. Known as "good fire," pile burning helps reduce brush and debris that could otherwise become hazardous during wildfire season. All activities were carried out under proper permits and by a certified burn crew. I was invited to film this event to help promote the use of prescribed burns as a tool for reducing forest fuel and encouraging the growth of native plants.
