NEWS THIS WEEK:

• Tree Removal– Butte County Fire Safe Council Dead and Dying Tree Removal Program: This Tree Removal Project is focused on removing merchantable dead and dying trees over 12” in diameter that could inhibit new construction. Due to limited funding, we can only help certain landowners who meet specific qualifications within the footprint.

  To Qualify, Landowners Must –

  • Have pulled a building permit on the property where tree removal will be conducted. 

  • The property must be within the Camp Fire footprint.

  • 70% of the dead and dying trees to be removed from the property must be conifers. Harvestable trees (Cedar, Pine, Fir) are necessary to offset the high costs of tree removal.

  • Have at least 20 harvestable trees between the property with a building permit and those directly adjacent. 

  • Be paying for reconstruction themselves. 

  • Own property directly adjacent to properties with building permits pulled.

    • Assistance from landowners receiving this announcement by contacting landowners directly adjacent to tree removal is appreciated. 

  • *This program will be conducted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Due to limited funding, we cannot guarantee we will be able to help all qualified landowners in need of tree removal.*

•  Love Paradise – Make a Difference Day Friday, Oct. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 26th:  For the last three years, the Love Paradise group has organized volunteers for days of service and beautification in the Paradise community.  This year, in the aftermath of the Camp Fire, Love Paradise is back and ready to host another day of volunteering – this time to clean up our streets as we prepare to welcome our neighbors back to observe the one-year anniversary of the Camp Fire on November 8th.  

  On Friday, October 25th and Saturday, October 26th, Love Paradise will hold a “Make a Difference Day” cleanup day throughout Paradise.  Volunteers will be picking up trash, metal or other objects on sidewalks and along paths, clearing weeds and planting flowers.  The Paradise Adventist Church, the Town of Paradise, the Paradise Garden Club, California Hope Center, the Paradise Church of Latter-Day Saints, Chico State, and Butte College, are all coming together to volunteer along with community volunteers.  Join us at 8:30 am on Friday the 25th or Saturday the 26th at Paradise Community Park!  

• Voting for the new “Paradise” sign has started. As a community, we were pleased to have received a number of inspiring submissions for the future Gateway to Paradise Sign.

Once the votes are tallied, we will make a formal announcement of the winner and progress towards plans permitting and construction. The sign committee is doing their absolute best to make sure that past and present residents of Paradise have the ability to observe the 7 designs and vote.
