2024 WIP Summit recap | Sierra Nevada Conservancy
Callie-Jane West, Executive Advisor to the Butte County Fire Safe Council highlighted how essential SNC-funded forest-health and community-protection projects helped save the neighborhood of Fir Haven and Pine Ridge School from the 2018 Camp Fire. “We lost three public schools and have more to protect. It’s really devastating when your community doesn’t have a school,” she said. “The forest around (Pine Ridge) was really overgrown. We were able to go in with foresters’ assistance, CAL FIRE, and SNC funding and do some general treatments that addressed the overstock conditions.”
A Butte County supervisor, former SNC boardmember, and current member of California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force, Doug Teeter concurred with West. A resident of Paradise, CA, who lost his home to the 2018 Camp Fire, Teeter knows first-hand the importance of treating the dense, overstocked forested landscape. Living in a rural community, he also knows finding ways to boost recreation and tourism are keys to helping residents in the Sierra foothills.
“The SNC doles out a lot of money for forest-health and watershed projects, which I think is super awesome. But our social-economic needs, needs to have trails to draw tourism,” Teeter said, highlighting the significance of an SNC-funded planning project for a 40-mile trail network adjacent to Colby Mountain outside the town of Jonesville.
Robert Gomez, Chairman of the Tübatulabal Tribe, offered his gratitude for a grant from the SNC and Wildlife Conservation Board that led to the return of key ancestral lands east of Bakersfield.
“In Indian Country, the Great White Father has not been kind to us over the years. Yet, the people on the ground? You people have been good to us and gracious to us,” he said. “We have what we call Kolo kam’ap, which means Duck Place. Thanks to the generosity of the conservancies, we have Kolo kam’ap back.”
Gomez added that after a recent ceremony to commemorate the return of ownership, a tribal elder came up to him and said: “I feel that I don’t have to go home anymore, because I am home.”
2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
Ed Stovin - 5/4/2024

 USFS - Inyo National Forest

This proposal should be funded. The Covid pandemic brought a lot of people to our area who had no idea how to properly recreate in a rural environment and many caused damage. Since then our area has experienced a huge increase in the number of people who recreate in Inyo and Mono counties and that trend it is going to continue. Many of these visitors recreate with vehicles on public lands. Proper and efficient monitoring, maintenance and repair of level 2 roads and repair of damage is essential for better resource management. As an individual who has patrolled and driven these roads for over 30 years, I endorse the much-needed maintenance and repair work that will be done with this funding. Thanks Pat Woods - 3/30/2024

Many of these visitors recreate with vehicles on public lands. Proper and efficient monitoring, maintenance and repair of level 2 roads is essential for better resource management and they provide a rewarding OHV experience for our visitors. The winter of 2023 did a huge amount of damage to many roads in our area and made many roads unsafe. There needs to be consistent maintenance and this grant will help. As an individual who has patrolled and driven these roads for over 30 years, I endorse the much-needed maintenance and repair work that will be done with this funding. Thanks Pat Woods - 3/30/2024

The Inyo National Forest (INF) like other agencies has seen a significant increase in recreational users in the last 6 years, most of those users are new to outdoor recreation. As such the impacts are not linear as the time previous and neither can be the efforts to correct. This large influx of users, coupled with a large amount of novice users, has created significant impacts which must be addressed if our much loved outdoor recreation opportunities are to continue.

Infertility and IVF

If you and your partner are having challenges building your family, you are not alone. We understand the stress and uncertainty that can come with infertility. We are here for you during your journey and cover a wide range of fertility treatments, procedures, and services.
How is VA expanding access to in vitro fertilization (IVF)?
VA is soon expanding access to IVF services. Before today’s expansion of care, VA was only allowed to provide IVF services to Veterans who were legally married and – within that relationship – able to produce their own gametes (both eggs and sperm). Under this expansion of care, VA will offer IVF benefits to qualifying Veterans regardless of marital status and – for the first time – allow the use of donor eggs, sperm, and embryos.
This means that VA will soon be able to provide IVF to eligible unmarried Veterans and eligible Veterans in same-sex marriages. VA will also be able to provide IVF to Veterans using donated sperm or eggs – a critical step toward helping Veterans who are not able to produce their own sperm or eggs due to service-connected injuries and health conditions.
VA is taking immediate steps to implement this policy and expects to be ready to deliver this care to Veterans nationwide in the coming weeks.
For more information, view these FAQ.
What services does VA provide for infertility?
VA offers a range of services to help Veterans build their families. Infertility services available through VA include:

Infertility assessments and counseling
Laboratory tests, including genetic counseling and testing
Imaging services, such as ultrasounds and X-rays
Hormone therapies

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
John Atkins - 4/18/2024

This project will restore historic access to an outstanding area used by locals and many out of town visitors, particularly in the summer time. The main entrance road is a masterpiece of work constructed by Mr. Peterson for access to his mine and the Peterson Mill. There is also grazing and a little private property on the flat. With the propose support of some real dirt moving maintenance equipment, the outdoor experience for many enthusiasts can be greatly improved. Jon Patzer - 4/21/2024

Please support funding this Grant Proposal. As a Big Pine resident and an active member of the Eastern Sierra 4WD Club, it’s imperative that funding be allotted in order to repair, upgrade and maintain existing OHV roads and trails. Since covid there has been a fairly large increase in usage of our off road trail systems in the Owens Valley including Inyo National Forest and BLM lands. Additionally some of our recent weather patterns have negatively impacted access to these public lands with the Coyote Flats trail being one of the more significantly damaged roads. I urge you to fund this grant due to the much-needed restoration, maintenance and repair work that we can achieve with said funds. Richard Bellomy - 4/22/2024

Please allow the roads and access to Coyote area to be improved and accessible. I usually make a couple of trips per summer to fish, enjoy nature and hike. I don’t hardly see any trash or destruction of property including trails and any I do I clean up.
