Rodeo FROMPAGE1 Tehama County Probation Department AB-109 crew California Conservation Corps and Cal Fire inmate crews assisted in the efforts. "The East Sand Slough Vegetation Improvement Project Field Day is imple- menting project work that will address immediate is- sues facing the East Sand Slough," said Brin Greer, resource conservation dis- trict watershed coordinator. Significant among the short term initiatives is the clearing of blackberry and other invasive plants on the northeast side of the Antelope Boulevard Bridge. With this infestation under control, aesthetics and pub- lic safety will be greatly im- proved, she said. "Not only will the con- trol of this vegetation aid in the prevention of its spread throughout the East Sand Slough, it will also allow improved access to the area by City of Red Bluff Police officers and Tehama County Sheriff deputies thus con- trolling encampments and other illegal activities near the bridge," Greer said. "In addition, a number of large trees that were killed dur- ing a fire in the slough sev- eral years ago are rapidly deteriorating and now pose a risk to public safety due to breakage and wind throw." Field work for the proj- ect included the falling and stacking of small haz- ardous trees and brush. Trunks and limbs of fallen trees will be cut and piled to create additional wild- life habitat on-site within the riparian corridor or burned by Cal Fire crew. While the 2013 fire did thin the brush, it left be- hind the trees so the proj- ect was a good way to eliminate some of the eye- sore as well as remov- ing the danger left by the dead trees, Lead Conser- vation Technician Mark Ewing said. Since the re- moval took away some of the places animals hid, the plan was to leave behind six carefully constructed habitat structures, he said. Comments from neigh- bors such as Durango RV Park was that the project was one that was needed for some time, especially the clearing out of the camps that had cropped up in the slough area. The California Conser- vation Corp stacked felled wood to create wildlife habitat structures and posted the signage. Cal Fire joined in clean up ef- forts by using it as train- ing for some of their in- mate crews who came and felled the trees that were cut down under the super- vision of Fire Capt. Sean Preader. There were also fuel breaks created. There are three classes of inmate crews with Class C cutting the bigger items in the range of more than 24 inches long, Class B cut- ting items in the 9-24 inch category and Class A cut- ting anything less than nine inches and doing brush limbing or bucking up, Preader said. While work had to be stopped by March 1 for en- vironmental reasons, there are plans to continue to co- ordinate and implement project work with all the partners involved, which will now include Durango RV Park, Greer said. "Durango RV Park has joined the community Veg- etation Improvement proj- ect and recognizing the value in the project the re- source conservation dis- trict organized, Durango RV Park has pitched in $800 for crews to extend project work on their par- cel that is adjacent to the slough," Greer said. "Cal- trans stepped up and fell additional snags within the State right-of-way on the north side of the An- telope Boulevard bridge. The slough is acting as it should following recent rains in holding water, therefore, project work in the eastern corner, border- ing Del Taco, will pick up again once the area is ac- cessible again." Burning felled trees in this area is planned in the future to avoid de- bris blockage around the bridge supports and to re- duce the probability of fire.

Arden was a passionate quilter and won many prizes at quilt shows in the Quartzite area of Arizona, where they lived for 25 years.
