The Ah Di Na Campground Restoration Project

 

Ah Di Na Restoration Project Postponed. Important update on the project status.

Due to some unforeseen developments outside of our control, we will have to postpone the restoration work that was scheduled for May. There are several additional administrative steps that need to happen before we can begin work. We are pausing the work dates until the Forest Service gives us the final official go-ahead. We hope to reschedule the work dates for the fall of this year. 

We really appreciate your support of and enthusiasm for this project and want to assure you that we are still working and planning while we wait for the approvals. We recently completed a site visit and inventory of restoration needs with the US Forest Service and are now working on the final maintenance activities and equipment lists.

Your talents and energy are critical to getting this project across the finish line. In the coming months, I will reach out to volunteers individually to better understand your skills and tools and how we can match those with project needs. We will let everyone know as soon as we get final dates. 

All donations will be held by NCCFFI until we get final approval and work dates scheduled.

Fly Casting Skills Development

 
The next FCSD session will be on May 17th at the Forest Charter School Playfield in Nevada City and is open to the community. If you would like to join the members of GCFF and develop your fly casting skills, no matter your skill level. From beginner to advanced. Please join us at this FCSD session on the grass at 625 Zion Street, Nevada City.

The FCSD Foundation level is a great starting place for those picking up a fly rod for the first time, or beginners with some fishing experience. You will learn the foundation of fly casting: loop formation and control. If you are interested in the Foundation level, please register for either the 10am or 12noon session.

You can also be recognized for your achievement. Check out the Achievement  page.
