Upper Feather River
The University of California Cooperative Extension in Plumas and Sierra Counties is part of a statewide system that makes University of California research-based information available to local agencies, industries and the general public.
This California Naturalist course will introduce you to the wonders of our local ecosystems and engage you in the stewardship of California’s natural communities.
