Overview

Mission

The organization advocates for the preservation of natural resources and healthy environment

What it reported doing in 2024

Talberth, sol communications: grant to help support a research report by john talberth that has been commissioned by the battle creek alliance and sol communications. Sol communications inc is a 501(c)(3) NGO dedicated to environmental and social projects that bring together people of many ethnicities and backgrounds. The report will estimate the average annual ghg emission associated with logging, road building, and potentially land use conversion using data from 2000-2021 in shasta and siskiyou counties. For comparison purposes, it will also estimate the average annual emissions associated with wildfires. The report will then estimate a range of climate damages associated with the annual average ghg emissions from logging, road building, and land use conversion in the two-county area. The sutdy will aid our mission of protecting the healthy forests in our area.
