Sierra Historic Restoration Project is a non-profit organization, working with the US Forest Service to rebuild historic buildings in the Sierra National Forest.  100 percent funded by donations. 

The buildings we typically restore are abandoned ranger stations, fire watchtowers, research facilities and other buildings largely built by the CCC during the great depression.  Once restored the buildings will be self-supportive from the funds generated by visitors who will pay to stay in them. 

We are acting as project managers for the forest service and employ trades workers and labor from the local community, local indigenes populations (because they are adjacent to the forests), and military veterans.  This provides them with employment and vocational training. 

Almost all of our projects are buildings that are a part of the national historic registry.   We work closely with US Forrest Service archeologists to make sure the buildings will be restored with care to their simple rustic designs.  The projects we are currently rebuilding are in the forest surrounding Yosemite and Kings Canyon. We are looking for funding to help us restore these monuments from further deterioration and return them to useful service of the public.
