Thamar Wherrit is a
conservation and
forest stewardship
champion caring for
almost 600 acres of
beautiful, visible
forest lands just
west of Mount
Shasta City. She is currently working with the
Siskiyou Land Trust to put a conservation easement
on her property and with the Shasta Valley RCD to
improve forest health and protect against the risk of
fire. 600 acres can be overwhelming for anybody,
so lets come together and help out our neighbor!
