ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION WITH THE PIT RIVER TRIBAL WORKFORCE

During the retreat, Lomakatsi’s staff and Board of Directors had an opportunity to visit with members of the Pit River Tribal workforce at the Hat Creek Restoration Project. In partnership with the Pit River Tribe and California Trout, Lomakatsi employed eight Pit River Tribal members during a 9-week ecosystem restoration workforce training intensive as part of the project.

ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION WITH THE PIT RIVER TRIBAL WORKFORCE
Lomakatsi Restoration Project Board members and staff met with Pit River Tribal Workforce members at the Hat Creek Riparian Restoration Project near Burney, CA.
It was great seeing how happy these young people were to be doing restoration work, and how glad this made the tribal elders who were helping out.
One of the elders told us that the original name for the Hat Creek area is YahNEEnah AHTwam — Mouse Valley.
