Resources:
- Backyard Stewardship Guide link - The BCFSC is excited to share the Backyard Stewardship Guide—an illustrated resource for Butte County and beyond exploring the intersection of wildfire resilience, shared responsibility, and ecosystem health at the backyard scale. By weaving together knowledge from often siloed disciplines, this guide highlights local examples where stewardship is making a meaningful difference. It celebrates the natural beauty of our region—encouraging us to notice the pollinators, birds, wildlife, and plants we share it with—while challenging us to care for our lands in ways that balance thriving yards, productive gardens, and healthy forests with the realities of wildfire.
