FoCCP's Membership Drive 2010

FoCCP began their membership drive this month. Here's a sample of our membership form:

Friends of Cow Creek Preserve Membership Application:

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). These objectives include:

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.

 If you want Whitmore preserved for future generations please join us at a FoCCP meeting and see how you can help. Together we can make a difference in our much loved community. Check us out!

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.
