Young people involved with the Lassen County Environmental Educational Collaborative will be planting bitterbrush seedlings in areas burned in the Rush Fire, in a habitat restoration project open to the public on Saturday, November 7th.
Space is limited and anyone interested in joining the group should email Jesssie Diermier at [email protected].
Participants will depart at 8 a.m. from the historic Susanville Railroad Depot, 601 Richmond Rd. in Susanville. They must provide their own transportation in vehicles suitable for gravel roads, bring a lunch, refillable water bottles and provide adult supervision for youth.
Participants will work with Valda Lockie, an ecologist with the Bureau of Land Management’s Eagle Lake Field Office, to plant 500 seedlings on public lands at Rodeo Flat along the Buckhorn Back Country Byway east of Ravendale. Returning participants will have an opportunity to observe the seedlings that were planted during the LCEEC’s 2014 habitat restoration effort.
This event is a program of the LCEEC, a partnership of the BLM Eagle Lake Field Office, Lassen National Forest, the Lassen County Office of Education and Lassen Land and Trails Trust.
