FOR THOSE IMPACTED BY THE BUTTE FIRE:

Certified Weed-free Rice straw is now available, free of charge for your immediate use on erosion control in Mokelumne Hill at the Equestrian Center on Lafayette St. and in Mountain Ranch at Central Fire Station #1 on Jesus Maria Rd. Please take what you can use now and leave the rest for our neighbors.

Our Donors thank you for making it happen.

Money you donate is used within 1 week to purchase the certified weed-free rice straw so landowners in the "burn" can put it down to minimize the erosion. Time is of the essence! Saturday (Oct. 17) we just got a taste of what rain can do. CalaverasGROWN is also utilizing volunteer crews to recover water wells. 

They are also organizing volunteer work parties. I hope they will post messages to this list for people wanting to volunteer work. Also, how to contact them other than Facebook - many people are not on Facebook but can email or text.

 

Thank you!
