    Lower Ranch Restoration Project & Upper Ranch, Trail Side clean-up

     

    Hollister Hills SVRA volunteers and staff once again will join thousands of other volunteers and organizations across the nation who have for over 20 years assembled together for the largest national day of community service, National Make a Difference Day.

     

    This year we will have two scheduled volunteer activities at Hollister Hills SVRA. The annual Clean Wheeling trail side clean-up event in the 4X4 Upper Ranch portion of the park. Participants will use their 4X4 vehicles to travel throughout the park while at the same time cleaning up along the roads and trails.

     

    In the Lower Ranch portion of the park, volunteers and staff will gather together and ride to desig- nated project areas where we will be restoring and beautifying several areas in the Lower Ranch and Renz portions of the park. The projects will enhance native ecosystems by re-vegetating areas with native plants that provide habitat for wildlife and soil stabilization for erosion control.

     

    When: Saturday, October 27th, 9:30 am to 3:00 pm, Lunch at 1:00 pm

     

    Where: Hollister Hills SVRA, 7800 Cienega Rd. Hollister CA,

    The Hollister Hills Off-Road Association (H.H.O.R.A.) received the Blue Ribbon Award from the Child Abuse Prevention Council of Hollister. The San Benito Board of Supervisors presented the award to Des Hughes, HHORA president at Tuesday’s meeting.

    The award was in recognition of HHORA’s continued support to San Benito County Child Protective Services. For more than 30 years, HHORA has been holding an annual family event at Hollister Hills SVRA where their “youth ambassador” sets up a “rummy run” course for participants. Local organizations donate prizes and all of the proceeds go to the San Benito County Child Protective Services.

    “April was Child Abuse Prevention month,” said Maria Corona, the interim director of the county’s Health and Human Services Agency. “We give the award to an organization that benefits the health, safety and well-being of children.”

    Corona said the donations from the off-road group have long supported activities that are not covered by state and federal funds.

    “It is for non-recurring costs that are not covered for children in the system,” she said, such as a day camp, nutrition and more.

    This year’s event will be held Oct. 7, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
