Help develop The Lost Sierra Route

Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship is developing a Trails Master Plan for Connected Communities, and is asking people to take a survey to aid in developing the plan. The Trails Master Plan will create a vision for a recreation-focused lifestyle through community investment, shared stewardship, economic opportunity and important new local jobs, all benefiting economically disadvantaged communities in California’s Plumas, Sierra, Butte and Lassen counties.

The Trails Master Plan is being developed through community input and will allow residents to collaborate with land managers and local government officials on a long-range vision for building and maintaining a world-class recreational resource on public land.

One of the goals of the plan to develop a multiple-use trail system connecting the northern Sierra communities of: Truckee, Loyalton, Sierraville, Sierra City, Downieville, Quincy, Graeagle, Portola, Taylorsville, Greenville, Jonesville, Chester, Westwood, Susanville and Reno, Nev. The main proposed route is being referred to as The Lost Sierra Route, paying homage to the region and the historic Gold Rush-era mail delivery route. Take the survey online. | sierratrails.org
