Eastern Sierra Now

00:00 / 00:24:57

Stay up to date with the latest news and community updates from across the Eastern Sierra. In this report, we cover local government opportunities, wildfire prevention efforts, recreation projects, youth sports, and community volunteer initiatives making an impact throughout the region.

This episode includes information on applications now being accepted for the Inyo County Civil Grand Jury, along with infrastructure improvements underway at Mammoth Yosemite Airport to improve access and safety for hangar owners.

We also highlight upcoming forest thinning projects in the Inyo National Forest aimed at improving wildfire resilience in the Mammoth Lakes and June Lake areas. Plus, local organizations are seeking volunteers for community events in Bishop, while registration remains open for Bishop youth football and cheer programs.

We’ll also take a look at a successful kids’ fishing event hosted by the Crowley Fish Foundation on Crowley Lake, new statewide wildfire prevention grant opportunities through CAL FIRE, and a major fundraising challenge benefiting the Eastern Sierra Conservation Corps.
