Review for HIGH SIERRA RURAL ALLIANCE, Sierra Ciyt, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

In my old but still active age, my desire to leave the world a better place when I move on becomes more compelling. When I retired, becoming part of the High Sierra Rural Alliance offered a purposeful way to advocate for protection of the local resources that are our legacy.

The HSRA acts to ensure that an informed public and an educated governing body make sound land use decisions. We have been active in Plumas and Sierra counties as both Plumas County and the City of Loyalton began the process of updating their General Plans. We have also assisted in protection of the Lakes Basin region and the rural and agricultural resources in the Sierra Valley.

We have provided a vigilant public presence in the land use decision-making process in both Counties, following the process all the way to the Courts if necessary to move local governments to meet their legal requirements. HSRA has been successful in each of the cases brought forward. The background stories of these, and more about HSRA, can be found on the website HighSierraRural.org.

The High Sierra Rural Alliance continues to work to represent the public interest with integrity and a strong commitment to our motto: Be Happy; Stay Rural!

When I drive across the Yuba Pass and look out on the Sierra Valley, or hike to Upper Sardine Lake, or ski in the Lunch Creek backcountry, I am always thrilled by the immeasurable beauty of where I am so lucky to live. And I’m ready to continue in my commitment to the High Sierra Rural Alliance.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Seeing zoning enacted as required by the General Plan; also seeing Court decisions in favor of HSRA.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

like to see more support and membership from the wider community.

Role:  Board Member & I have picked up trash along Highway 49; I have attended Planning Commission hearings and Board of Supervisor meetings. I have helped at fund raisers and serve as secretary for HSRA.
