Land Stewardship Council seeks public input on development of PG&E lands in Sierra

The Stewardship Council is continuing to seek public input on the development of a Land Conservation Plan (LCP) that will recommend how the beneficial public values of over 140,000 acres of watershed lands across the state can be preserved and enhanced. Community meetings will be held throughout the summer to obtain feedback from the community on information that has been collected to date. They will also be requesting feedback on preliminary concepts for these areas, which are available for review at
