Tehama County has received a $13,700 community grant from Catholic Healthcare West through St. Elizabeth Community Hospital. Money from the CHW grant will be used to provide counseling services to individuals, families, and children for as little as $5 per session based on the income of the clients. Normally such counseling can cost over $100 per session. The Family Service Agency (FSA) received a $14,000 grant from Catholic Health Care West in 2010. The grant was for providing deeply discounted counseling services for people in need. FSA was able to provide 200 counseling sessions at the reduced fees made possible by the CHW grant during 2010. This number was a substantial percent- age of the over 900 reduced fee ses- sions provided last year. FSA employs four fully licensed counselors and two interns and is located on 1347 Grant Street, next to the Hope Chest.

Gardening with native plants Andrea Craig, Preserve Manager for Nature Con- servancy’s (TNC) Dye Creek Preserve shared with the Sacramento River Discovery Center’s Thursday evening pro- gram attendees informa- tion about the Nature Conservancy’s Lassen Foothill Project that includes over one million acres of land, from the Sacramento River to Lassen Park. More than 100,000 acres are under environ- mental protection, mostly by conservation ease- ments, meaning that “ranchers can still ranch” keeping the open spaces open. The Conservancy is working on two restora- tion project within the project area: one in the Child’s Meadow region, headwaters of Deer Creek where they are going to restore “fly- catcher” habitat in Gurnsey Creek, the other a wetland at Dye Creek Preserve. Both projects are supported by Partners for Fish and Wildlife. Most of TNC’s work in this greater project area targets salmon runs, the migratory Tehama deer hear, and other species particular to oak wood- lands and the rangelands of eastern Tehama Coun- ty. Craig shared, through photos, the landscaping work that is being done at Dye Creek Preserve headquarters and brought examples of upper story and mid- story plants that are per- fect to plant in our own gardens. Craig also provided attendees with informa- tion about the Preserve facilities and the public walks and hikes that are held each spring at the Preserve or on the Vina Plains.
