News This Week

• TREES

  • Almost every property in the Town of Paradise is required to remove hazard trees.  Property owners may enter the Government Tree Program to have the trees removed by the State at no out-of-pocket cost.  99.7% of properties are eligible for the State Program.  Enrollment in the Government Tree Program requires a Right-of Entry form. Property owners may also identify and remove hazard trees themselves but must submit an inspection form so an inspector may verify the removal of the hazard trees from the property. Property owners may also call the Tree ROE Center directly at (530) 552-3030 or submit Tree ROEs by email at TreeROE@buttecounty.net. The Tree ROE is available for download online at www.ButteCountyRecovers.org/treeremoval. ROE forms may also be picked up at the Tree ROE Center when open. The Tree ROE Center is located at:

    • Butte County Library, Paradise Branch Community Room: 5922 Clark Road, Paradise Hours: Mon.- Fri. 9 am – 5 pm

   

  • The Tree ROE Center is moving to the Building Resiliency Center(BRC)  Monday, February 24th. This will allow for ease of completion and turning in of ROE forms. No appointment is necessary to complete ROE forms, just show up and get it done! The deadline to submit Hazard Tree Removal Right-of-Entry Forms and Inspection Access Forms is this Friday, February 21st, 2020. 

• The first annual Butte County Museum Weekend is set for Feb. 29th & Mar. 1st. The event was created to promote and celebrate history, art, and culture through Butte County’s museums and cultural centers. All participating locations will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m, on both Saturday and Sunday, for free, so visitors can have full access to the wide range of Butte County’s cultural offerings. There will be a complimentary shuttle looping between museums in both Chico and Oroville. For more information go to www.explorebuttecounty.com/museum-weekend 

• The Police Officer Association was granted $10,000 by Farmers Insurance to go towards new trail cameras in Paradise. These cameras will be helpful in deterring crime on properties that may be uninhabited and help provide police with the ability to be in more places at once. They hope to have the project moving ahead in March.
