Forests have always been carbon-capturing technology.
As trees grow, they pull carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the forest – and when sustainably harvested wood becomes homes, buildings, furniture, and other long-lived products, that carbon can remain stored beyond the forest.

Last week, Tim Erickson testified in the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Federal Land in support of 's bill that would reinstate grazing and multiple use management, restore public access, and reduce checkerboarded land ownership to a key area in California.

In Congress, we talk about this bill being bipartisan, supported by multiple administrations and both agencies. In the West, we just call it common sense.

H.R.8454 would swap two parcels of equal size between the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service to rectify a simple boundary issue and ensure the needs of the land included in the parcel matched the mission of the agency.

🇺🇸 **Happy Independence Day from the Tuolumne County Alliance for Resources and Environment (TuCARE)!** 🌲

This Fourth of July, we celebrate not only the freedoms we cherish, but also the incredible landscapes that make our nation—and Tuolumne County—so special.

Our forests, rivers, wildlife, and working lands are part of America's heritage. Caring for them through responsible stewardship helps ensure they remain healthy, resilient, and productive for future generations to enjoy.

As you spend time outdoors with family and friends this holiday, we encourage everyone to recreate responsibly, practice fire safety, pack out what you pack in, and do your part to protect the natural beauty that makes our community home.

From all of us at TuCARE, thank you for supporting the people, lands, and natural resources that sustain our way of life.

Have a safe, joyful, and Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🌲💚

Memorial Day is more than the start of summer — it is a time to reflect on the courage, service, and selflessness of those who gave everything to protect our freedoms.

From all of us at TuCARE, we wish you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Yesterday TuCARE participated in the annual Groveland Ag Day at the Pine Mountain Lake Equestrian Center. It was a great event for schools to come and learn from these natural resources and ag specialists!
