SUMMARY:Keeping Our River Clean: Redding Storm Drain Facility Tour
DESCRIPTION:RESCHEDULED:  \nKeeping Our River Clean: Redding Storm Drain Facility Tour \nTuesday\, October 1\, 2024\, 11:30 am – 12:30 pm. \n20055 Viking Way\, Bldg 3\, Redding \n  \nPart of the mission of Shasta Environmental Alliance (SEA) is to protect the water of the Sacramento River watershed and an important part of that is making sure water and debris going into the river are free of pollution. \n  \nOne important part of protecting the river water is ensuring contaminated water and associated items do not enter the Sacramento River\, which requires public education and the work of the Storm Water Division of Public Works. \n  \nIn a SEA-arranged meeting\, the Storm Water Management division of the City of Redding Public Works Department oversees the vast storm drain system in Redding and will be explaining everything that goes into the storm drain system and new stringent state laws that will be taking effect in 2025 which will help to keep a lot of plastic and other debris out. After explaining this important but often overlooked utility in the city\, staff will present and demonstrate the equipment they use to keep the system operating effectively. \n  \nPreviously\, SEA arranged a tour of the Wastewater Treatment Plant on Clear Creek and the Buckeye Water Treatment Plant processing water from Whiskeytown Lake. At this meeting\, we will learn another important part of what water actually goes into the Sacramento River through storm drains\, how it gets there\, and how we can work to make it cleaner. \n  \nThis will be a brown bag meeting from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm at the City Corp Yard at 20055 Viking Way\, Bldg. 3\, Redding\, on Tuesday\, October 1\, 2024. If you would like to attend this meeting\, please email david@ecoshasta.org or sign up here on here on our meetup site so we know how many to expect.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Opportunity: Help Revitalize Salmon Habitat
DESCRIPTION:River Partners\, in collaboration with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management\, is restoring 150 acres of floodplain habitat at the confluence of Battle Creek and the Sacramento River\, with the first phase starting in fall 2023. \n  \nYou can volunteer and join in the effort to plant over 30\,000 plants to help this restoration effort! Meet October 11th & 12th from 8:30 am – 2 pm at 3778 Gover Rd.\, Anderson\, Calif. If you come to volunteer\, please wear close-toed shoes and pants\, bring a lunch/water\, and bring work gloves and hand trowels if you have them! Also\, you will need to fill out THIS waiver before you volunteer (this is different from SEA’s waiver)! \n  \nBattle Creek is one of the last streams in California that supports all four runs of Chinook salmon and steelhead. This restoration aims to enhance fish habitat\, reduce fragmentation\, and support the recovery of endangered species like the Swainson’s hawk\, Western yellow-billed cuckoo\, and valley elderberry longhorn beetle. Located on the 306-acre Rancho Breisgau Unit\, the project is vital for connecting a major wildlife corridor extending from the Sacramento River to the headwaters of Battle Creek in Lassen Volcanic National Park. The second phase will restore an additional 156 acres once funding is secured. \n  \nThis area\, once agricultural land now overtaken by invasive species\, offers little wildlife habitat. However\, River Partners’ expertise in restoring riparian forests will transform it into a thriving ecosystem\, closing a critical gap in the riparian corridor along Lower Battle Creek and the Sacramento River.

SUMMARY:Resilient Roots: Tree Selection & Care in the Sun-Drenched Central Valley
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 12\, 2024 \n10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nMcConnell Arboretum – 1100 Arboretum Dr\, Redding\nClassroom building adjacent to the nursery \nSign up by clicking here \nPresented by Rico Montenegro \n  \nTrees are a long-term investment and can be an asset rather than a liability around our homes\, our parks\, our streets\, and our communities when several factors are considered when selecting trees. We will look at and discuss the factors that should be considered when selecting trees for a given site and what cultural factors would be necessary to ensure long-term success as your tree matures. Join Consulting Certified Arborist\, Horticulturist\, and Pest Control Advisor Rico Montenegro\, and former Chief Arborist for the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation as he shares his expertise about tree selection for hot and drought-plagued Shasta County and surrounding areas. \nThere will be a nominal fee for this class.

SUMMARY:California Rangelands: Measuring Their Environmental Importance
DESCRIPTION:California Rangelands: Measuring Their Environmental Importance \nWednesday\, October 16th\, 6 pm  \nRedding Library Community Room \n\nRangeland Monitoring Network: Measuring Soil\, Plant\, and Wildlife Habitat Health on California Rangelands \nAlicia Herrera\, an ecologist with Point Blue Conservation Science\, will present a talk on Point Blue’s Rangeland Monitoring Network (RMN) which seeks to understand and measure the ecological function of rangelands and work cooperatively with land managers across California. Alicia will present results from RMN monitoring efforts and discuss principles and stewardship of soil\, plant\, and wildlife habitat health on rangelands. \n“Globally rangelands account for 28% of global land cover and contain primarily grasslands shrubland\, and savannah ecosystems\, but also include desert\, wetlands\, and other types of woodland. In California alone rangelands cover approximately 57 million acres with Mediterranean-type grasslands\, shrublands\, and woodlands accounting for 30% of this estimate. Rangelands are typically found in semiarid and arid regions with relatively less productive soils and or on steep terrain where crop production has historically been restricted.” (From Point Blue website.) There is growing evidence that proper livestock grazing management and associated conservation practices\, such as riparian restoration and silvopasture\, can benefit native grasses and flowering vernal pool species\, manage habitat for birds and wildlife\, and maintain or improve soil fertility on rangelands.  \nPoint Blue’s Rangeland Monitoring Network includes over 100 participating ranches across 28 counties in California\, including Shasta. Point Blue’s team of Partner Biologists works with rangeland owners to collect standardized ecological data\, evaluate the effects of grazing and other conservation practices\, and provide information and recommendations to landowners to help guide decisions and enhance the ecological health of rangelands.  \nAlicia lives in Redding and primarily focuses her work within Shasta County. She serves on the board of directors of the Shasta Land Trust\, is an excellent birder\, and is a self-proclaimed plant geek. \nSEA will be providing refreshments and will also give the latest on the Medicine Lake Highlands (Sattitl) National Monument Campaign\, our successful candidates’ forum\, potential cooperation with Project Learning Tree for tree planting at schools involving children\, and the current state of the proposed new tree ordinance. We hope to have someone from the Pit River Tribe give a brief update on Medicine Lake (Sattitla).
