Butte County is still in the Purple Tier, but it is likely we will move into the Red Tier sometime this month.
The purple tier means that outdoor meetings with less than 10 people can resume. Please note that as covid statistics change, we may be forced back to SIP, or a lower-tier when we eventually move beyond purple.
Below is a simple grid showing what meetings are permitted depending on our tier status. The full document with this grid is linked below.

Camp Fire Restoration Project |
|
We need your help to plant fruit and nut trees in the burn scar. 600 trees have already been donated. The planting will happen on March 20 and 21, the Spring Equinox.
The goal is to add food security, reduce fire risk, and heal the land while building community connections.
There are many ways to get involved:
1. Please volunteer to plant trees and/or prepare for planting
2. Donate money to cover the additional materials needed
3. If your land is ready to plant on, contact your Zone Captain to be nominated to receive trees.

Linda, our 4-H Secretary, has worked very hard bringing the enrollments up to date. Most enrollments that are still pending are waiting for volunteers to complete their online classes, fingerprinting, or the fees have not been turned in to the office yet.
The most important thing for members to note: as long as your enrollment fees and 4hOnline profile were completed by 11/19 there is no reason to believe that you have not met the Fair Participation Agreement requirement.
If you are an adult whose enrollment is incomplete, the information below can help get you started. If you need assistance, please call the 4-H Office between 8:00am and 4:00pm Monday-Friday at 530-538-7201.
Below are helpful documents surrounding enrollment:
- Here is a one page info-graphic that explains the enrollment process in simple terms
- Here is a link to a guide for new and returning YOUTH
- Here is a link to a guide for new and returning VOLUNTEERS
Important things to remember:
-
Here is a link to the LiveScan form that new volunteers must take when they are fingerprinted.
-
This document must be returned to the 4-H Office.
-
Here is an FAQ regarding 4-H's background checks.
- Do not create a new 4hOnline profile if you can't remember your old password. I (Ryan) or someone in the office will give you a temporary password to reset your account. Just contact us.
- eXtension (where volunteers watch their training videos) is a third party website, and you must create a profile for it. If you are returning and cannot remember your username or password, follow the websites prompts for resetting these.
- If returning volunteers do not complete the reenrollment process before the end of the program year, policy requires that you begin the process over again next program year (fingerprinting, the longer batch of videos, etc.)
