As many in the community are aware, recent wolf sightings have been reported near Little Shasta, reflecting a broader trend of increasing wolf activity throughout Siskiyou County.
Siskiyou County is a rural, wilderness-surrounded region, and residents have long lived alongside wildlife. While this familiarity is part of daily life, it does not lessen the importance of awareness or preparedness. As wolf populations range closer to homes, trails, and working lands, encounters must be taken seriously.
As part of our seasonal operations, the temporary Lake Siskiyou delta bridges have been removed for the winter months. These bridges provide an important crossing over the delta section of the Lake Siskiyou Trail; however, because they sit in an active waterway, they must be taken out before winter weather arrives to ensure safety and protect the structures.
This work is a coordinated effort between CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit Deadwood Crew and Siskiyou County Flood Control, who handle both the installation and removal of the bridges.
The Siskiyou County Public Works Department is pleased to share an update on the ongoing Copco Road Repaving Project. In a major show of coordination and teamwork, crews from all six road districts, the Bridge Department, and the County warehouse staff joined forces to begin surface improvement work along the corridor.
Between September 22 and October 8, County crews successfully completed a focused effort to address critical roadway needs:
Yreka, CA – On July 1, 2025, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously (5–0) to proclaim a local state of emergency in response to the escalating threat posed by the illegal use of highly toxic pesticides associated with illicit cannabis cultivation and processing operations.
SISKIYOU COUNTY, CA - Over the last eleven years, the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office, Siskiyou County Office of Emergency Services (OES), CalFire, dispatchers, law enforcement, and other partners have relied on CodeRED as our main alert notification provider.
