REDDING, CALIFORNIA — Shasta College will receive $3.3 million as part of a four-year statewide Careers in Forestry partnership to expand forestry and fire-safety training programs throughout Northern California. The Foundation for California Community Colleges is the lead agency for the total grant amount of $21.5 million awarded by the Commerce Department’s Economic Development Administration. The foundation’s proposal, California Resilient Careers in Forestry, will coordinate and expand forestry and fire-safety training programs in northeastern California’s Sierra Nevada and Cascade regions. Shasta College is one of eight regional hub partners working with the foundation on implementing this grant for the Shasta-Trinity-Tehama region. Shasta College will leverage the award from this grant to expand existing programs in logging, truck driving, and other forest-health-related programs. …Delbert Gannon, owner of Creekside Logging and past-president of Sierra Cascade Logging Conference, said the programs will provide jobs in the region.
