Anderson, CA – Due to extreme wildfire conditions and risk to lives and property, Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) has closed its forestlands in California. SPI takes pride in allowing non-motorized public access for hunting and other recreational values but must take this action to protect resources and public safety. This follows similar announcements by other industrial timberland owners throughout the western United States. This closure will be in effect until conditions change.
