Document Description
The Sierra County Land Trust is seeking $777,200 in Sierra Nevada Conservancy Proposition 84 funding to acquire the 298-acre Hayes Property. The property overlooks Volcano Lake and will preserve frontage on the North Fork of the Yuba River and Salmon Creek at their confluence. The property is also part of the Sierra Buttes/Lakes Basin Special Treatment Area which indicated that it is a key recreational and economic resource for the County. The purpose of the acquisition is to protect the water quality of Volcano Lake, Salmon Creek and the North Fork of the Yuba River as well as the recreational and scenic assets of the site as an important piece of the Sierra Buttes/Lakes Basin. A lease will be established with the current property owner to include the potential for one timber harvest with the next 10 years subject to restrictions imposed to maintain the key goals of water quality, recreation and scenic protection.
