Willows, April 10, 2009 - The Tehama County Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) will meet Thursday, April 16 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Tehama County Department of Education Office, 1135 Lincoln Street in Red Bluff.

Project proponents will have an opportunity to present their proposals at the April 16 RAC meeting. Board members will be voting on projects to be funded. Proposed projects must have a benefit to National Forest lands or resources.
