El Dorado Irrigation District News
A new online reservation system for Sly Park Recreation Area launched Aug. 17. If you camp out there (or are thinking about it), this is good news: You'll be able to change or cancel your own reservation online — no more contacting EID recreation staff during business hours. Fuller campsite details so you can pick the right spot before booking. All availability in one place, easy to browse Sly Park is such a great local spot — 650-acre lake, swimming, fishing, boating, miles of shoreline trails, and over 190 campsites (tent and RV up to 40'). If you haven't been out there in a while, worth a visit! https://www.eid.org/slyparkcamping

🔥 Why Get Involved with Firewise? Here’s the Scoop! 🔥
Wildfire season isn’t slowing down, but the good news is we can make our communities safer — together. That’s where Firewise comes in! Joining a Firewise group isn’t just about checking a safety box… it actually comes with some amazing benefits:
• Learn about wildfire — Understand how fires behave, how homes ignite, and what really makes a difference. Knowledge = power (and safer homes!).
• Get prepared — From evacuation planning to home hardening tips, you’ll be ahead of the game when conditions get risky.
• Build community — Meet your neighbors, collaborate on projects, and become the kind of community that looks out for each other.
• Access funding and assistance — Firewise communities can qualify for grants, resources, and expert support to help reduce wildfire risk.
• Possible insurance discounts — Some insurance providers offer perks for participating Firewise neighborhoods. Preparedness can literally pay off! If you want a safer, stronger, more connected community, Firewise is the place to start. Let’s work together — because wildfire safety is a team sport. 🌲🔥💪
