Save Burney Falls (SBF)

SBF is a California non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation organized in January 1997 to promote long-range community planning and environmentally sustainable growth in the Burney Falls area. SBF supports balanced development while preserving the natural state of the environment for conservation and recreation.

SBF current project is the development of the Great Shasta Rail Trail, which is a shared vision for a public recreation trail between the towns of Burney and McCloud in northern California.

The Great Shasta Rail Trail follows the alignment of the McCloud Railway Company (MCR) (originally known as McCloud River Railroad Company) corridor through the expansive forestlands of northern California. It links innumerable recreation opportunities, including the world-famous McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, the Lassen National Forest, Shasta Trinity National Forest, and the Pacific Crest Trail.

This project has been pursued by volunteers from several organizations that serve people of this region, notably Save Burney Falls, Shasta Land Trust, McCloud Local First NetworkVolcanic Legacy Community Partnership and McCloud Trails Association.  Our work has been supported by Shasta County Public Health Department, Shasta Regional Community Foundation (McConnell Fund and Burney Chamber of Commerce Donor Fund), Shasta College (GIS Department, through a National Science Foundation grant), Rails to Trails Conservancy, and Rivers, Trails, and Community Assistance, a program of the National Parks Service, McCloud Chamber of Commerce http://www.mccloudchamber.com/, Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) http://www.pcta.org/, NPS, Rivers, Trails and Conservation program – Project #7  for 2011 (http://www.nps.gov/ncrc/programs/rtca/whatwedo/projects/CA.pdf).
