Hi <<First Name>>,

In these troubling times there is one thing I know for sure and that is the resilience of our community. We have been through tough times before and we will all get through this as well. Here at the Shasta Land Trust we are taking the appropriate actions to make sure our staff remain safe and supported, in addition to taking actions to safeguard our members in the weeks and months ahead.  

As many of you know, the Wildways Kickoff was planned for April 19th. In response to CDC guidelines and the Governor's restrictions we will be cancelling that event. We are working on a new date in the Fall and will be getting you that information as soon as it becomes finalized.  

In addition, we are working on rescheduling several of our Wildways events that we had planned to start the end of April. The members and volunteers who built this organization are nothing short of family and thus their safety is our utmost concern. These dates are being wrapped up in the next few days, so stayed tuned for the Wildways booklet in the mail in the next few weeks.

I have spoken to many people over the last few hours and days and the overwhelming response I have received focuses on understanding that we are all in this together. If someone needs help with groceries, help them. If someone needs to voice their frustrations and fears, hear them out. This too shall pass and in the weeks and months ahead we will look back on this moment and recognize that we are stronger than we know and that as with the environment, we are all connected.

If there is anything the Land Trust can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out.  

Sincerely,

Paul Vienneau
Executive Director
