Reviewing the June 8 Butte County Board of Supervisors agenda, I saw the Feather Falls Trail
Infrastructure funding request for $1,000,000 under category 2: address negative economic impacts
caused by the public health emergency, including economic harms to workers, households, small
businesses, impacted industries, and the public sector - Travel and Tourism Support.
We are actively working on projects to salvage 250 acres of fire-killed timber nearby and around the
Feather Falls campground and trailhead, fell approximately 377 acres of hazard trees within striking
distance of the 7.3 mile of Feather Falls trail, remove felled trees from the trail area and treat slash,
reforestation, rebuilding the campground, and rebuilding the trail. The project will be incredibly
expensive to restore the Plumas National Forest’s premier attraction in Butte County and working
with partners we are putting funds in place to move this project along to completion.
We are tremendously excited that Butte County is actively working to help restore Feather Falls to a
safe, popular attraction and source of travel and tourism support. We wish to work with the County
to identify where resources could best be used to accomplish the Feather Falls post-fire recovery
project. Please let me know how the district and I can best support your efforts to restore Feather
Falls.
Thank you, Clay
