The Sierra Nevada Conservancy will provide grant funding to Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship to complete the Beckwourth Peak Recreation Project (Project). The Project involves construction of at least 8.3 miles of non-motorized class 3 trail beginning south of Portola, continuing around Beckwourth Peak, and connecting to Portola City Park and Carman Saddle. The trail would be constructed by trail crews using hand tools and would be built to USDA Forest Service standards. Native surface and materials will be used with no foreign materials incorporated into the trail. The trail is intended to provide easy access to National Forest lands for residents of, and visitors to, Portola. Plumas County filed a NOE under Class 4, 15304 Minor Alterations to Land, in September 2019 (SCH 2019090093)
