FR SEA

Feather River Student Environmental Association

Our student club has social events, sponsors professional development, takes care of recycling on campus, and does fundraising activities.  We sell cords of oak firewood that was thinned from campus to "release" other oaks, and had a "Fun Day" with hiking and canoeing in Bucks Lake Wilderness.  See photos here.

Contact SEA co-presidents Tiffani Wilson or Ariel French.

The Wildlife Society Conference

Darla & Darrel took 8 students to Redding for the conference Feb 6-8, 2008.  It was another great one.  Photos:  The Wildlife Society Conference 2008.

  • FRC Students volunteered over 50 hours at the conference to waive their registration fee
  • A resume workshop by the Humboldt State counselor was incredibly valuable, and a student / professional career luncheon led to many job prospects.
  • We went to the Sundial Bridge on the Sacramento River en route to home.

Darla & Darrel took 8 students to Monterey for the conference Jan 31 - Feb 3, 2007.  We had a wonderful time and learned a lot.  Highlights:

  • Mike Lippencott won a great prize at the banquet raffle:  a North Face sleeping bag!
