Mary McClain figures something needs to be done about the vegetation along Highway 174.
McClain has praised the abatement of hazardous vegetation along roadways that serve as evacuation routes. However, she’s concerned over what she sees as no plan for Highway 174.
“I’ve called Caltrans, and they can only clear 8 to 10 feet along the roads,” she said. “There’s thick vegetation along Highway 174 and Silver Way, and I don’t think the abatement is adequate.”
McClain’s initiative began in 2019 when she addressed the Board of Supervisors in a meeting. Rich Adams, a forester with the California State Parks Sierra District, as well as a representative of the California Department of Parks and Recreation, soon got involved.

RED BLUFF, Calif. - Red Bluff High School and Elementary School districts are adding three new electric buses to the fleet.
Funding for the buses came from California Climate Investment Program through the North Coast Air Quality Management District.
The two school districts used a rural school bus pilot program and a PG&E grant to help install electric charging stations that will be able to charge up to 10 electric buses.
