Background Information:
The Sacramento River Discovery Center at the Red Bluff Recreation Area has been a great supporter of the Agency for at least twelve years, if not longer. The Discovery Center has hosted numerous composting presentations taught by Agency staff, they include us in their programming for many local schools’ field trips, and share in the Agency’s values of conserving natural resources and sustaining the environment. The Discovery Center allows the Agency to easily meet our goals of educating the public and schoolchildren on the importance of waste reduction, recycling, and composting in an atmosphere that conveys the importance of preserving our natural resources while showcasing the beauty Tehama County offers.
Having worked with the Discovery Center over the last twelve years promoting the Agency’s programs I can personally attest to the hard work and dedication their small staff and numerous outstanding volunteers have for our environment and the community. For all these reasons staff is requesting that the Board of Directors authorize the Agency Manager to submit the attached letter of support for their permit extension allowing the Discovery Center to operate for many more years. This will also allow them to have greater opportunities to seek additional funding to help them expand their programs.
