Red Bluff Anniversary Sale or less Saturday, September 22, 2012 – Daily News 3A Beautification efforts gaining momentum What began as an initiative to increase tourism has become a rapidly growing community pride movement as individuals and businesses join forces to beautify their communities and make Tehama County a better place to live and do business. Kicked off by the recent Cleaner Greener Red Bluff event, momentum is building as people undertake community improvement projects on their own. Last April, the Tehama County Branding Project held a Seeds of Opportunity Summit to identify areas of opportunities. The meeting generat- ed a giant to do list, and community cleanups were at the top of the list. The Cleaner Greener Red Bluff event was one of the outcomes from that meeting. Organizers hoped for 100 people to attend the Cleaner Greener Red Bluff event. They were amazed when at least 300 people arrived ready to pitch in and spruce up the town. "The turnout was greater than we could have imagined, and we were able to accomplish much more than we thought possible," said organizer Sean Rix. picked up trash, painted over graffiti, and replanted several downtown planters. When the day was over, they had spruced up the downtown River Park, Antelope Boulevard from Main Street to Rio Street, and Main Street from Luther Road to Dog Island Park. According to Rix, the downtown park clean up generated a 10-foot high pile of brush and debris that filled the lower parking lot. It took several dumpsters to haul away the brush. Rix also estimates there were also 300 The volunteers cleared brush, bags of trash collected on Main Street alone. "We couldn't have accomplished as much if it wasn't for all the volunteers and groups such as the Junior Marines, Probation Department, and the Mercy High Foot ball team pitching in. They were amazing. Nor Cal Tree company trimmed and mulched branches. Impressive Lawn Care provided assis- tance as well." som, who led the park cleanup. "We can make Tehama County a better place to visit and live if we take care of our existing assets." Red Bluff is not the only town undergoing cleanup efforts in the County. Corning and Los Molinos also have plans for Greener Cleaner Community Cleanups. Several businesses helped to make a stake in the future of Tehama Coun- ty, and aren't sitting around waiting for others to do the work anymore," said Rix. "People are rolling up their sleeves and getting things done, which is inspiring us to do even more." Since the initial Greener Cleaner "People are realizing that they have event, several people have taken the initiative to undertake other beautifica- tion projects and are posting their efforts on Facebook. Rix hopes people will continue to post photos as they improve their neighborhoods and Tehama County landmarks. "The more photos that are posted, the more pride will be generated and the more inspired others will be to join in the beautification movement. Rix encour- ages everyone to post photos of their cleanup efforts to the Cleaner Greener Red Bluff Facebook page."It's so exciting to see people continue the beautification effort," agreed Jenifer Walker, who helped coordinate the Greener Cleaner Red Bluff. "This is an ongoing movement, and anyone can take part as they see the need. You don't need to wait for an organized event to make a difference." We have wonderful resources in Tehama County, such as the down- town river park" said Brandon Gris- the first Cleaner Greener effort a suc- cess by donating resources, funds, supplies, and lunches.
