Stanislaus National Forest (STF - Forest #16) "Stanislaus" KME 2-4

The Stanislaus Forest Reserve, located in California's Central Sierra, was created by President Grover Cleveland February 22, 1897. The Stanislaus Reserve was much larger than today's forest; it contained all or portions of the present day Tahoe, Eldorado, Sierra, and Toiyabe National Forests. Presidents that followed issued proclamations to split the reserve into smaller, more manageable units. The Stanislaus National Forest has four major watersheds, all with their headwaters near the Sierra crest and all of which run in a southwest direction, through the San Joaquin Valley and eventually into the Pacific Ocean. The northern boundary of the Stanislaus is formed by the Mokelumne River, the southern boundary by the Merced, while the Stanislaus River, roughly bisects the forest from north to south, and the Tuolumne River—emanating from the Mount Lyell glacier in Yosemite National Park—runs between and generally parallels the Stanislaus and the Merced rivers. Of the four rivers, the forest's name came the Stanislaus. It encompasses 898,099 acres on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada; California’s snow capped mountain range that flanks the Great Central Valley. Located between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, the Forest landscape is a continuum of natural and scenic beauty that defines the Sierra. Amid soaring crests, sparkling mountain lakes, towering forests, and canyons carved by cool rushing rivers, visitors discover connections with nature and the spirit of the Sierra Nevada. A mere two hour drive from the Great Central Valley and three hours from the San Francisco Bay Area, makes the Forest a very popular destination. The mountains were shaped by volcanic and glacial action, producing rugged and spectacular topography at high elevations. Each elevation, from 1,500 to over 11,000 feet above sea level, has its own unique vegetation, wildlife, and corresponding temperatures. While the lower elevations are hot and dry, the higher elevations have lush meadows cooled by melting snow. The Stanislaus contains 78 lakes, and 811 miles of rivers and streams. It has 1,100 miles of non-motorized trails, and 2,859 miles of roads, 188 of which are paved. Bald eagle, peregrine falcon and wolverine have all been reported on the Forest. Here you will find Sierra mixed conifer, true fir, lodgepole pine and subalpine vegetation.

The Forest contains some 139,000 acres of old growth that includes Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta), Jeffrey Pine (Pinus jeffreyi), and White Fir (Abies concolor).

The Stanislaus National Forest is divided into the Mi-Wok (District 1), Calaveras (District 2), Summit (District 3) and Groveland (District 4) Ranger Districts with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Sonora. These Ranger Districts are divided along three highway corridors: State Highway 120, also known as the Tioga Pass Road, to the south (Groveland District); State Highway 108, also known as the Sonora Pass Highway, along the middle fork of the Stanislaus River (Mi-Wok and Summit Ranger Districts); and State Highway 4, also known as the Ebbetts Pass Highway, to the north (Calaveras Ranger District).

RADIO SYSTEM

The forest has 3 nets, each of which can operate direct or simplex, as well as with repeaters and they are the Fire and Operations Net, Admin Net and Service Net. Yosemite National Parks's Fire repeater net is provided in one channel as are the local nets of the Cal Fire units Stanislaus National Forest fire personnel work with on a frequent basis. Remote base locations and the method linking them (microwave or UHF) have not been determined. It is likely that one of the remote bases is located on Mt. Lewis.

Other

The identifier system for non-fire personnel is unknown. People assigned to the Forest Supervisor's Office have a "5" in their identifier, example Battalion 51 does not work on a ranger district, but in the Supervisor's Office. Dispatching is done by the Stanislaus National Forest Emergency Command Center located in the Forest Supervisor's Office on Greenley Road in Sonora. This center is not co-located and is not an interagency center. It does not provide a logistics order point/channel for any other agency either. There are only two such centers of this type in R5, this and the Plumas National Forest Emergency Communications Center. The Stanislaus Center identifies as "Stanislaus."
