APACHE 8 tells the story of an all-women wildland firefighter crew from the White Mountain Apache Tribe, who have been fighting fires in Arizona and throughout the U.S., for over 30 years. The film delves into the challenging lives of these Native firefighters. Four extraordinary women from different generations of the Apache 8 crew share their personal narratives with humor and tenderness. They speak of hardship and loss, family and community, and pride in being a firefighter from Fort Apache. APACHE 8 weaves together a compelling tale of these remarkable firefighters, revealed for the first time. ​Watch the movie preview.

Out of ashes, community rises! Quincy & Greenville Rotaries joined forces at Greenville’s The Spot, dining in Greenville Rotary’s impressive Greenhouse Project on picnic tables made by G. Rotary, the wood salvaged from trees burned in the Dixie Fire. Thanks to Crush-A-Bowl food truck for your healthy fusion meal and Sue Weber for the inspiring words on Greenville’s Rebuild.

On April 14th we had the pleasure of giving a tour to two classes from the California College of the Arts Architecture Division whose focus is Greenville. The Architecture class is designing a town center building and the other is a seminar class looking at wood products and the potential for new businesses.

REMINDER - Days in the Mountains are coming up soon, with the first session happening this Friday, April 21!

Our annual open house-style registration event is designed to help students get signed up for fall courses and explore resources at FRC. Now we are offering two session options to allow more flexibility for participants.

As an added bonus, all prospective students will receive FREE lunch and admission to FRC softball/baseball games happening on campus during/after the events.

All Days in the Mountains participants are required to register! You can find all details along with registration info here.

We hope you and your families can join us for some fun and learning this Saturday! Come support the Visions program. Bring your kids 12 and under for a free event at the park.

Come to the fairgrounds to enjoy a saxophone concert presented by Draw Four. Part of our Plumas Goes Pops concert series, this looks like the weather will be decent and we will finally get back on track! The first concert; Northern Nevada String Serenade was postponed due to weather, and we have rescheduled for Saturday, June 10. Go to the Fair website to purchase tickets; each concert is $20, or you can get all three for $50. You can also get tickets at the door or at the Fair Office. Let's have a great turnout!

Spring is (finally!) upon us in the Lost Sierra, and with it, the opening of shuttle season Yuba Expeditions. Most of the lower-elevations trails on Mount Hough are running well and we're currently booking shuttles to start on Saturday, April 29th—the same weekend as our first Mountain Epic volunteer weekend of the year, which also takes place on the Hough trails in Quincy. $40 will get you two shuttles up to about 5,600 feet, where you can access Lower Hough, Lower Tollgate, Berry Creek and Chandler trails.

Book your shuttle reservation here and if you want to join us to dig in the dirt for the Epic, add your name to the list!

We are so excited to announce that we will be hosting four weeks of farm camp this summer. Our farm educator, Farmer Kari, has designed two fun and unique camp themes:

At Farm and Forage camp, kids will explore the farm and surrounding natural habitat to learn about the ways our farm depends upon the feather river watershed! We will get to know native plants, sing songs, make and eat farm fresh food, and practice caring for the farm and the land that holds it!

Get your passport! At Around the World Farm Camp, we will learn about food and craft traditions from several different cultures and nations! How do people in Japan use plants to dye beautiful blue cloth? Which vegetables on our farm can we use to make a tasty dish from Tanzania? Come and find out!

To register please visit our website. Scholarships are available. Can't wait for summer!
