Hayfork and Weaverville County Public Libraries Environmental Sections: Set up and funded by SAFE, largely thanks to Jan Mountjoy's efforts. Environmental sections include all manner of environmental news and information. Includes SAFE's Alternatives Guide to pests and controls.

SAFE has representatives to the Trinity County Weeds Management Cooperative (TCWMC). Three informative slides are being shown at the Trinity Theater before movies. An updated TCWMC informational weeds slide show will be available in April 2008 on the Trinity County website.

SAFE is a signatory on a petition against genetically modified/engineered trees, distributed to the Scientific Body of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity in Rome in late February 2008. Read text of open letter. SAFE continues to oppose genetically modified/engineered agriculture, including trees. SAFE was involved with the Board of Supervisor's passage of a resolution banning genetically engineered (GE) plants and animals in Trinity County. This makes Trinity County the second county in the nation to ban the growing of genetically engineered (GE) plants and animals.

In the Dec '10/Jan '11 SAFE newsletter, there is an article about Assembly Bill 32 and Forest Carbon Offset Rules. Read the letter that S.A.F.E. signed onto that was sent to the California Air Resources Board.

SAFE educates people about various environmental groups to problems and provides solutions to many of them. They work with other environmental groups to protect our natural resources, our national heritage and the future of our children. SAFE members are involved in public affairs, serving on committees, in government positions, in volunteer work both public and private, and in working in cooperation with other public interest groups to bring about a sustainable economy based upon sustainable resources.
