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 Network,
Volcanic 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,
