Spring is arriving in our Sierra Foothills, and we at Foothill Conservancy are abuzz with the energy and renewal the season brings. So, on April 28, we’re hosting an Earth Day Celebration of Spring, featuring the Darcel Trio (a local favorite!) at the Mokelumne Hill Town Hall. Check out the event flier in this newsletter for all the details.
In the spirit of growth and renewal, we have welcomed four new members to our Board of Directors. Each brings significant expertise to our financial, event planning, and communications functions. Please join me in welcoming Susan Conn, Leslie Smith, Tyx Pulskamp and Toby Salk at our event on April 28.
Watershed issues abound in Foothill Conservancy’s current work. Our team members are reviewing a massive new hydroelectric project proposed at Salt Springs Reservoir and proposals for fire resilience treatment to thousands of El Dorado and Stanislaus National Forest land. For more information on these critical topics and projects, please visit the Foothill Conservancy website.

About The Foothill Conservancy
The Foothill Conservancy was launched with potluck dinners on Amador and Calaveras County residents’ back decks in 1989. We held our first public meeting in October 1989 and incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1990.
Since then, our community-based, grassroots, regional conservation group has successfully worked for more than 30 years to protect, restore, and sustain the natural and human environment in the Central Sierra for the benefit of current and future generations. What began as a small group of concerned citizens has grown into a resilient, award-winning organization with a strong record of accomplishment.
