Students from NJUHSD and Bear River High School now have the opportunity to gain practical experience in agriculture at “The Ranch,” an 86-acre working ranch recently donated to the district. The Ranch provides a unique outdoor classroom where students can engage in real-world hands-on agricultural training.

Nevada County Resource Conservation District Donates Portable Sawmill to The Ranch School

NCRCD is proud to announce the donation of a portable sawmill to The Ranch School. This gift includes a trailer, blades, and a Model LT15 Wide sawmill equipped with a 17HP diesel engine, power feed, wide trailer, a box of 15 blades, and field assembly.

This donation aligns with NCRCD’s mission to promote responsible resource management through leadership, education, technical and financial assistance, and project facilitation.
