6A – Daily News – Friday, June 18, 2010 CalFire plans burns to control invasive weeds In an effort to prepare for fire season and to con- trol medusa-head and yellow star-thistle, invasive weeds that plague ranchers and conservationists alike, CalFire will conduct control burns in part- nership with the Nature Conservancy and the Gal- latin Ranch to burn about 2,000 acres of Tehama County rangeland during June 21-25, weather per- mitting. This year, the burns will incorporate three fire training courses that will provide instruction for CalFire fire suppression staff in northern California. The most visible burns to be carried out include portions of Vina Plains along Highway 99E, grass- land south of Dye Creek in the east side of the Val- ley and rangeland near the Red Bank area of west- ern Tehama County. CalFire is conducting the burns with cooperat- ing land managers under the Vegetation Manage- ment Program, a state-sponsored cost-sharing pro- gram to encourage prescribed fires on private property. Burns will be implemented only if weather con- ditions meet prescribed parameters for a safe, effective operation. Last year, CalFire and partners burned about 1,000 acres of rangeland in eastern Tehama County.

Associates went to an assisted living home and delivered a flower in a vase and visited with the 35 residents, delivered fruit baskets to 10 local businesses and bagged groceries at a local supermarket, handing out the Umpqua bags.
