Lassen Land and Trails Trust Seeking

Public Input for Conservation Plan


Lassen Land and Trail Trust has just completed its organizational strategic plan for 2025-2030 and to compliment that, the organization is building a strategic conservation plan that identifies key priority regions/habitats, and projects to focus on.


“Partnerships are an essential element of our work and we want to hear from you,” explains LL&TT Project Manager Cindy Becker. “Please take a few moments to answer this short survey. At most, it will take up 10 minutes.”


The trust is developing its conservation plan for the next 5 years and beyond, thanks to funding from the CA Department of Conservation Capacity Grant.

Since 1987, we have worked with partners to improve the regional trail system, protect working lands from development and also critical water resources, provide environmental and local education for youth and adults, and secure restoration on lands impacted by recent fires and mis management.”

Monticola Club Makes Another Plea for Footwear Donations


The Susanville Monticola Club wants your shoes! Rid your closets of extra, unused shoes to make room for the new shoes, slippers or boots that you recieved for Christmas.


Members are looking for gently used and new shoes in all types, styles and sizes.


Men’s, women’s and children’s shoes are all needed and donations don’t just benefit the club – your sneakers, flip-flops, sandals, loafers, cleats, dance shoes, sleepers, boots etc., will get a second life in countries where people are in need.


How does it work? Drop your shoes off at the Edward D. Jones office at 515B Ash Street or at the Monticola Club on south Lassen Street. There is also a large drop-box at Susanville Supermarket IGA.

Reno, Red Bluff Routes are only Passable Roads

January 9, 1930


Advise use of chains to those using these highways. O. A. Fisher of the Susanville branch of the California State Automobile Association stated Thursday morning that only two roads were open out of Susanville.


The highway to Reno is traversable, but it was advised that all cars using this route be equipped with chains and other necessities for winter travel.


Travelers on the Red Bluff road are also warned not to attempt the trip without the use of chains. The snow line extends to Payne’s Creek.


The warning for motorists using this highway came from E. J. Gribble, state highway engineer. It was also added that the trip could be made from Susanville to Red Bluff comfortably in 4 ½ or five hours.


Plows are on the highway and are keeping fairly well ahead of the snowfall which began Thursday morning.


All the rest of the roads from Susanville are closed and the Quincy, Greenville and Westwood route is also impassable.
