Chico Tree Advocates

We are forming a local group to help
our urban forest with these four goals:
1.  Establishment of a new citizen and certified
      arborist committee to monitor and consult on
      issues of the urban forest.
2.  Better citizen notification before the removal
      of significant trees.
3.  Enforcement of current Municipal codes that
      protect and promote trees.
4.  Plant more trees.

Chico Hero's Exhibit at the Farmers Market and the Peace Vigil

After being named a Chico Hero for 2013, I had to put together an exhibit for this Saturday's Farmers Market and Peace Vigil.  We made new 2' x 4' Peace Panels for the Chico Tree Advocates; Career Builders and 3 Things You Control, to show off.  Photos show the Farmers Market we were at in the morning.  Then at noon I packed up the Peace Panels on my bike trailer and peddled them of to the Chico Peace Vigil on Third St. & Main from 12:30 to 1:30 pm.

 We got a page and a half of volunteer signatures and reconnected with many friends.  It was a good day!

One of Chico's Heros

Peace Panel Project creator, Charles Withuhn, was named as one of Chico's Heros for 2013 and got his picture on the cover!  (Not the turkey.)  Withuhn attracted the attention of the editors with the formation of
Chico Tree Advocates to press for the protection and planting of more trees in Chico.

 

Each year, around Thanksgiving time, the CN&R editors select a handful of individuals who have shown to be exemplary when it comes to giving back to the community without expecting anything in return.

Butte County certainly has a lot of people to be thankful for, so it wasn’t easy narrowing the cast of worthy nominees into this year’s picks for Local Heroes. But the result is a diverse group of honorees who have devoted countless hours, sometimes under great pressure, to make a difference in the community.

University of Nevada Reno 2013 exhibit

It was a crisp clear and sunny fall morning at University of Nevada at Reno, when I set up the full exhibit: all 12 easels fully loaded with 3 Panels each and the table.  I was able to set up with plenty of room in between each easel so people could walk between them and see all 3 Panels.  There were other groups with tables set up nearby so the traffic was good.  I got some donations; gave some books away; handed out a lot of brochures about Better World Shopping, Project Censored, Ruses for War, and Nonviolent Communication.  I got interviewed twice by a couple of charming reporters.  A history teacher came up and thanked me sincerely for the Patriotism Panel.  He said he's been trying to teach that idea to students for years and he appreciated the way we articulated the idea on the Panel.  Some students took pictures of the Panels.  A woman from Romania thanked me and expressed her concern over what she had seen of US imperialism in Europe.  A guy from Cameroon came by twice thanking me and made a donation.  He said, "Bless you".  It was a good day.

It is about time!

You Have Control

This Panel has been brewing in my mind for a time.  I'm happy to get it out in time for the upcoming UNR exhibit next Wednesday.  Updated 11/30/13.
