Collaborative action is key to making large-scale forest health improvements

Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions (YSS) is a collaborative
formed in 2010 to increase the pace
and scale of restoration to prevent large wildfires in the Stanislaus National Forest.
The collaborative was in its early stages of de­
velopment in 2013 when the Rim Fire devastated
the region and shifted the focus ofYSS from a
preventative approach to a reactive one.
Since then the group has implemented several habitat restoration projects with the help of a large volunteer base and has raised $4.5 million for habitat restoration.
The YSS collaborative model is an approach that can be replicated in other forested areas.
