The Department of Environmental Quality re
cently announced that the community of Butte
Falls will be awarded a grant to develop a recy
cling program. The request was initiated by an
interested Health Class taught by Mike Har
rington. A community group was formed which
f
developed how the recycle program would be
initiated and the grant was submitted. Currently
Jatina Baldwin is starting a RECYCLE CLUB at rp
the High School that will take charge of program
development. It is hoped that by the fall there
will be a place in town to bring all your recycla
ble materials. WATCH FOR MORE NEWS

A large watershed analysis project has recently
begun in which the condition of the Big Butte
Watershed will be examined. The Butte Falls
Ranger District will be focusing their effort in the
Big Butte Springs watershed. The BLM is look
ing at the central part of the Big Butte Water
shed encompassing largely the North and
South Fork of Big Butte Creek. A unique aspect
of this effort is that the Forest Service and the
Bureau of Land Management are working to
gether to get this job done. The result of this
work will be projects identified to aid in water
shed restoration, timber sale proposals and
other things to implement the new forest plan. In
the early stages of this analysis we are seeking
input from local residents about issues or con
cerns and suggestions for projects to consider.
If you need more information or would like to
provide input call the Butte Falls Ranger District
at 865.2700 and ask for Rod or Alan.
