LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — At a recent Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club meeting, Kitty Loberg and Suzanne Russell were awarded a Penny Pine Certificate for their special contributions to the garden club by Nora Gerrard, Penny Pines chair.
Anyone may donate to Penny Pines in memory, or in honor, of a person.
So far, the club has contributed 80 acres to the Penny Pines reforestation program.
If you wish to donate, please contact Penny Pines Chair Nora at 707-272-6885.
Under a conservation agreement, an individual or organization can contribute $68 toward the cost of planting seedlings on about one acre of National Forest land in California and receive a Penny Pines certificate.
Using the donation, together with federal funds, the Forest Service will do the planting on the National Forest of your choice.
The Penny Pines plantings are made as part of the regular National Forest reforestation program on burned-over and brush-covered areas which are potentially productive timberland.
Using these donations, combined with regular forest planting funds, millions of pine, fir, redwood and giant sequoia seedlings have been planted on acres of National Forest land in California.
The Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club is a member of the Mendo Lake District of the California Garden Club Inc. Pacific Region and National Garden Clubs, Inc.
The club welcomes new members and information can be found by visiting www.clttgc.org or call Ginny at 707-489-3511.

LAKEPORT, Calif. — The Lakeport Police Department reported that it will stop using the Nixle platform on April 1.
The agency is changing the way it communicates emergency alerts, advisory information and community messages.
It is moving from Nixle to its parent company, Everbridge, which it says has enhanced features that will allow police to send more focused messages and for users to prioritize their contact methods.
Legacy Nixle followers won’t be left out, but they will only be able to get emergency alerts, not advisory and community information.
The Lakeport Police Department encourages community members to register for Everbridge here. Go to the bottom of the page to register and install the Everbridge app from an app store.

In April, more than five million Pacific Gas and Electric Co. customers will automatically receive the California Climate Credit on their energy bill.
Residential households with an active electric account will automatically receive an electric credit of $55.17, an increase from last year’s credit of $38.39.
Residential households with an active gas account will automatically receive a credit of $85.46, an increase from the $52.78 credit in 2023.
That is a total credit of $140.63 for customers receiving both gas and electric service from PG&E.
“This credit highlights our partnership with the state to champion environmental responsibility,” said Vincent Davis, senior vice president, customer experience. “It encourages sustainable practices, moving our communities toward a brighter, greener future.”
The California Climate Credit is part of the state’s efforts to fight climate change and is distributed by PG&E to customers as directed by the California Public Utilities Commission, or CPUC.
This credit is from the California Cap-and-Trade Program, which requires power plants, fuel providers, and large industrial facilities that emit greenhouse gases to buy carbon pollution allowances.
The bill credit is designed to help utility customers during the transition to a low-carbon future.
Residential customers receive biannual electric credits during April and October, while natural gas customers receive an annual credit in April. Eligible small business customers receive identical electric credits, distributed twice a year.
Both sets of customers will receive the second electric credit in October. PG&E will also distribute over $36 million to eligible industrial customers on behalf of the CPUC. Eligibility requirements and other details are online here.
In addition to the California Climate Credit, customers are encouraged to explore other ways to save energy, reduce costs on monthly bills, and contribute to building a sustainable future.
