Many people are out of work, so now we need a new Civilian Conservation Corps. CA lost millions of trees, risking runoff this winter into our salmon streams. We should hire thousands of tree planters, plus volunteers doing community service. It’s safer working outside, with distance and masks. Lots of organizations, businesses, tourism and students could help them plant millions of trees, and do other conservation work, across the state.
Plant Trees!

Great idea! Would be excellent to pay people to plant trees and to work on fire management (clearing dead trees, controlled burns, etc.). Hope you keep fighting for this
