Full Description

Show more
In December 2017, the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors approved a Master Stewardship Agreement (MSA) with the USDA, Forest Service, and Stanislaus National Forest on behalf of the Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions (YSS) Collaborative, giving the County authority, over the next 10 years, to work with the Forest Service to conduct landscape restoration activities on the Stanislaus National Forest within the boundaries of Tuolumne County. In July 2024, this agreement was extended an additional 10 years until 2038. The Supplemental Project Agreements (SPA) developed under the MSA are for the purpose of protecting, enhancing, and restoring forest and watershed health and bringing economic opportunities to the local area. The County is using the collaborative group YSS and its sub-partners inside YSS to assist with Forest Health Projects. It is the County's intent to subcontract out program administration and project management.
