Resource Advocates Envision a Greener Future for the County

A half century from now, the residents of Calaveras County may remember our time as one of drought, fire and dying forests. But if even a few of the visions discussed at a historic meeting on Thursday are realized, they will also remember that 2016 was a time of hope.

The meeting in the Chesborough Room at the Calaveras County Public Library was an informal gathering of ranchers, conservationists, a water district official and others with interests in the soon-to-form Calaveras County Resource Conservation District that voters approved in the election on June 7.
