The Plumas National Forest occupies 1,146,000 acres of scenic mountain lands in the northern Sierra Nevada.  Management of the Plumas National Forest has been the responsibility of the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, since the Forest was established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905.  Situated in the Sierra Nevada, just south of the Cascade Range, the Plumas is versatile in its land features, uncrowded, and enhanced by a pleasant climate. Outdoor enthusiasts are attracted year round to its many streams and lakes, beautiful deep canyons, rich mountain valleys, meadows, and lofty peaks.  Beginning in the foothill country near Lake Oroville, the Plumas extends through heavily timbered slopes and into the rugged high country near U.S. Highway 395. State Highway 70 between Oroville and U.S. Highway 395 provide year round access, and State Highway 89 provides convenient connections through Tahoe.

 +
The forest includes 127,000 acres of the old growth forest.  This consists primarily of Coast Douglas fir (''Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii''), Ponderosa pine (''Pinus ponderosa''), White fir (''Abies concolor''), Red Fir (''Abies magnifica'') and Jeffrey pine (''Pinus jeffreyi'').
 +
 +
The Plumas National Forest is divided into the Beckworth (District 1), Mt. Hough ("Huff") (District 2) and Feather River (District 3)  Ranger Districts with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Quincy.

The Forest has a Forest Net, an Admin Net, and a Service Net.  It is possible to use a direct (simplex) channel on the Service Net, but not on the other two repeater networks.  The Plumas used to link their repeaters with microwave and perhaps it is still in place, however,contacting the Ranger District offices and the dispatcher was possible on the simplex channel of each net.  The user selected the simplex net and the tone for the repeater site they were in range of allowing direct communications with all the offices and the Emergency Communications Center.  The radios could also switch to the repeater channel and use the same tone to key up the repeater.  Direct or simplex calling of the dispatcher and ranger stations is no longer available.

The unit identifiers for non-fire personnel on the Plumas use the '''function name''', district number, position number system.  Employees assigned to the Forest Supervisor's Office use the number "6" after the function name.  The Plumas National Forest Emergency Communications Center provides service to the Plumas NF only.  It is only one of two such federal centers in California that do not provide service to other federal agencies or co-located with a Cal Fire ECC.  The other dispatch center similar is the Stanislaus National Forest Dispatch Center.  The identifier used by the center is "Plumas."

Plumas National Forest (PNF - Forest #11) "Plumas" KMD 7-8-0

The Plumas National Forest occupies 1,146,000 acres of scenic mountain lands in the northern Sierra Nevada. Management of the Plumas National Forest has been the responsibility of the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, since the Forest was established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905. Situated in the Sierra Nevada, just south of the Cascade Range, the Plumas is versatile in its land features, uncrowded, and enhanced by a pleasant climate. Outdoor enthusiasts are attracted year round to its many streams and lakes, beautiful deep canyons, rich mountain valleys, meadows, and lofty peaks. Beginning in the foothill country near Lake Oroville, the Plumas extends through heavily timbered slopes and into the rugged high country near U.S. Highway 395. State Highway 70 between Oroville and U.S. Highway 395 provide year round access, and State Highway 89 provides convenient connections through Tahoe.

The forest includes 127,000 acres of the old growth forest. This consists primarily of Coast Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii), Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), White fir (Abies concolor), Red Fir (Abies magnifica) and Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi).

The Plumas National Forest is divided into the Beckworth (District 1), Mt. Hough ("Huff") (District 2) and Feather River (District 3) Ranger Districts with the Forest Supervisor's Office in Quincy.

RADIO SYSTEM

The Forest has a Forest Net, an Admin Net, and a Service Net. It is possible to use a direct (simplex) channel on the Service Net, but not on the other two repeater networks. The Plumas used to link their repeaters with microwave and perhaps it is still in place, however,contacting the Ranger District offices and the dispatcher was possible on the simplex channel of each net. The user selected the simplex net and the tone for the repeater site they were in range of allowing direct communications with all the offices and the Emergency Communications Center. The radios could also switch to the repeater channel and use the same tone to key up the repeater. Direct or simplex calling of the dispatcher and ranger stations is no longer available.

Other

The unit identifiers for non-fire personnel on the Plumas use the function name, district number, position number system. Employees assigned to the Forest Supervisor's Office use the number "6" after the function name. The Plumas National Forest Emergency Communications Center provides service to the Plumas NF only. It is only one of two such federal centers in California that do not provide service to other federal agencies or co-located with a Cal Fire ECC. The other dispatch center similar is the Stanislaus National Forest Dispatch Center. The identifier used by the center is "Plumas."
