Friends of Cow
Creek Preserve
We,
as members of Friends of Cow Creek
Preserve, (FoCCP) support the
objectives of the
Stewardship Council,
Cow Creek Watershed Management
Group (CCWMG), and the
Western Shasta Resource Conservation District
(WSRCD).
1.
Enhance the beneficial values and uses of the watershed lands and
to improve the lives of young Californians through connections to the
outdoors.
2.
Use the resources in the Cow Creek Watershed in a way to meet the
needs of today without infringing on the needs of future generations.
3.
Promote a sustainable community in the Cow Creek Watershed. This
biological community includes the human community as well as the aquatic
and terrestrial plants and animals, and associated habitats. We
recognize that a sound economic base of the human community is the first
requisite of a healthy ecosystem.

The Poker Ride was a success and we all had a great time. It was sponsored by the Way Station in cooperation with FoCCP and other Whitmore non-profit organizations.
On September 27, 2009, FoCCP organized the 2nd Annual Whitmore Community Picnic at Kilarc
The Whitmore Grace Community Church sponsored this event.
We hoped to encourage interest in the future of Kilarc, to encourage FoCCP membership, to encourage stewardship among young and old alike, and to encourage friendship with all groups in the community. Most of all, we had some good old fashioned fun!
The picnic was be held from noon 'til dusk. We'll had lots of food, games and information. It was a great success!
Cassie and Katy Patrick hosted Whitmore Library's summer reading program for youth. They chose as the theme: 'What's in My Backyard?'
We all had a lot of fun and got acquainted with out outdoors through books, activities and games.
This was an extension of Laura's class with a similar theme, in order to encourage interest in our world and stewardship among our young citizens.
We had a booth at the festival and it was great fun!
Our first class in this series, What's in Your Backyard?, is taught by Laura Carnley on the subject of local geology and geologic features. This series of 8 classes began on October 8, 2008. A final field trip to Mount Lassen is planned.
We hope to offer other classes with this central theme, in order to encourage interest and stewardship among young and old alike.
On August 10, 2008, FoCCP organized the First Annual Whitmore Community Picnic at Kilarc
We hope to offer future community picnics, in order to encourage interest in the future of Kilarc, to encourage FoCCP membership, to encourage stewardship among young and old alike, but most of all, to have some good old fashioned fun!
The picnic was held from noon 'til dusk. We had lots of food, games and information. Most of us caught our limit of trout for the day!
Our float took first place in its category in the Whitmore Round-up Parade. Everyone had a lot of fun as you can see! Read more about the event at this link:
We also made a banner for our group which we can use for different events.
One of our directors, Maggie Trevelyan, helped design t-shirts for the 'Save Kilarc' cause. We sold all of them in short order and hope to have different t-shirts made in the future. Thanks Maggie!
At the 2007 Whitmore Summer Fair, Cassie and Katy Patrick gave a skit on wildlife rescue. It humorously demonstrated how to safely rescue small animals and birds.
FoCCP also had an informational booth at the fair, headed by RJ Roth.
Cassie and Katy Patrick, with the help of Reni Michelle, gave a presentation on wildlife rescue at Whitmore School. It was their first time in front of an audience, and in spite of a little nervousness, they did very well!
