The Manton
Fire Safe Council is a group of Manton residents,
representatives from resources agencies and other organizations,
who are working towards creating a fire safe zone in the Manton
area. By "fire safe" we do not mean "fire free,"
as we know that fire has always been a part of this area and will
continue to be a natural phenomenon that we will have to deal
with. Our focus will be on how to avoid or prevent fires caused
by human error, and how to respond to fires when they do occur
naturally or otherwise.
The Manton Fire Safe Council is
sponsored by the Battle Creek Watershed Conservancy. The Council
is fortunate to be working with the Tehama-Glenn Fire Safe Council
and the Shasta Fire Safe Council and is supported and informed
by their work. We are also fortunate to be working directly with
representatives from California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection (CDF), whose expertise will guide us as we decide what
our priorities and projects should be. We would like to invite
all interested people to contact us and share your ideas, and
your time, if possible. Remember, the purpose of this council
is to make our community a safer community. Our work on the Fire
Safe Council will benefit all of us. So please get involved -
we need your help.

The annual Return of the Salmon
Festival has been celebrated at the hatchery since 1991 in an
effort to increase outreach and visitor use. During this one day
festival the third Saturday in October over 10,000 visitors are
attracted to the hatchery. Many other organizations (Federal,
State and private exhibitors) participate in this event with a
wide array of information pertinent to natural resource issues.
Visitors during the festival are treated to viewing large numbers
of fall Chinook salmon returning to Battle Creek and the hatchery,
and may observe all aspects of day-to-day hatchery operations
such as spawning, egg incubation, and juvenile rearing. Visual
information sites are located on the hatchery grounds to provide
a narrative for visitors to understand life history, habitat requirements,
and other biological information.
