Mohawk Valley Stewardship Council

Tucked away in the northeastern Sierra Nevada in Plumas County, California, is the beautiful Mohawk Valley. It is as rich in history as it is in natural resources. The Mohawk Valley Stewardship Council (MVSC) was formed in 2009 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to preserve the rich cultural heritage and resource values of the Mohawk Valley while enhancing the area’s tourism economy.

The MVSCs’ first major project is acquisition and operation of White Sulphur Springs Ranch (WSSR) located in Mohawk Valley. The WSSR lies at the headwaters of the Middle Fork Feather River watershed, within the Sulphur Creek subwatershed. The Feather River watershed encompasses a broad variety of terrain, climate, historic use, and flora and fauna and has long been recognized for its recreational, water and aesthetic values. An abundance of mountain rivers, lakes and reservoirs dot the landscape, creating both summer and winter recreational opportunities. Water originating from these drainages represents a significant component of the State Water Project and provides high quality water for hydro generation, agriculture, industry and cities in the south.

The MVSC would restore White Sulphur Springs’s historic main buildings, swimming pool and trails so that the public could utilize the property for events, retreats, swimming and environmental education. There are very few destinations in Mohawk Valley that allow the public access to its natural resources and to enjoy the scenic overlook of this pristine meadow in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
