Rotarian Tom Milam works on restoring the irrigation system at The Woolman Center’s organic farm in Nevada City. Last summer’s Jones Fire destroyed 19 structures at the Center, including farm buildings, fencing and irrigation.
In August 2020, the Jones Fire raged through the South Yuba River Canyon up Jones Ridge near Nevada City, devastating lands and buildings in its path. The Woolman at Sierra Friends Center campus was hit hard. The fire destroyed 19 structures including the farm buildings, fence and irrigation. Now the Center is looking to rebuild and replant under the direction of Malaika Bishop, a local farmer and stewardship associate with Sierra Harvest.

A state funded cleanup has begun in the wake of the 705 acre Jones Fire, which started six months ago after a lightning strike lit a fire near the South Yuba River the morning of Aug. 17.
Representatives from the California Office of Emergency Services and Nevada County Office of Emergency Services toured the cleanup efforts Wednesday morning off Newtown and Jones Bar roads, where the majority of the fire’s damage to structures occurred, including at the historic Woolman at Sierra Friends Center location.
