"My bill about vegetation management is so crucial because it addresses a key tension between wildfire prevention and environmental conservation. Senate Bill 653 is a science-based approach that eases that tension and is protective on all fronts, said Cortese, who represents Silicon Valley. This bill will help guide state agencies that fund these projects to prioritize certain ecological best practices while reducing long-term catastrophic wildfire risk."
The Town of Los Gatos offers one-time grants to nonprofit organizations for projects that directly benefit residents and the community. Grants can be used to complete a project or initiate a program, service or event, with most awards ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. Applicants are encouraged to request only the amount necessary and must complete applications in one sitting because there is no option to save. Grants require programs and events to be held in Los Gatos, though organizers need not be headquartered there. Organizations may receive a grant once every two years. The application deadline is before midnight on Oct. 3. Senate Bill 653 promotes environmentally sensitive vegetation management to reduce wildfire risk and guide agencies to prioritize ecological best practices while protecting native plants and wildlife.
