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.
