The CCC Collaborative needs your support
The CCC needs to raise an additional $3,000 within three weeks to support a group of 12 corpsmembers who will work on restoring the Bigfoot Trail in the Siskiyou Wilderness. Donations will cover their travel, meals, stipends, and supplies. Contributions over $150 will receive a Bigfoot Trail hat.
