PRESS RELEASE – July 16, 2019
Del Norte County District 1 Supervisor Roger Gitlin announces expansion of Community Service program involving wards of Juvenile Hall. In coordination with Del Norte County Probation, minors detained in the Hall will participate in various community projects in helping improve
the Del Norte County. Friday, July 19 at 8:30AM, youths will participate in a wood chip dispersal project at the County Animal Shelter along the many dogs -walking trails at the Shelter. Some six to 12 Probation-supervised youth will participate on the wood-chip dispersal project.
Supervisor Gitlin has organized a number of successful community service work days out at the shelter. Not only have they spread a huge amount of wood chips on the trails they’ve spread gravel in our outdoor runs. Preparing for winter starts in Spring for us and these work crews have been a huge help. We’ve also had a Boy Scout Eagle project out here to work on the trails and we would welcome any groups that want to help!
Good idea having them doing something for the community and the dogs!!
