Conservation Corps North Bay (CCNB) Ushers Expanded Youth and Environmental Services Into Santa Rosa

Rhea-AI Summary

Conservation Corps North Bay (CCNB) is set to unveil its new facility in Sonoma County, marking an expansion of its youth and environmental services in Santa Rosa. The 25,000-square-foot building, located at 3555 Airway Dr., offers increased storage capacity for recyclables, improved accessibility for corpsmembers, and enhanced reach for natural resources services.

The expansion, supported by funders including Cal Recycle, Wells Fargo (WFC), REDF, and others, allows CCNB to grow its Zero Waste program, expanding e-waste and mattress recycling efforts. It also enables the organization to provide more fire fuel reduction, flood prevention, and trail restoration services across Sonoma County.

CEO Angel Minor noted immediate increases in recycling drop-offs, field projects, and local youth applications since the move began in March. The facility's location offers easy access by walking, biking, and public transportation, aligning with CCNB's mission of developing youth and conserving natural resources for a resilient, sustainable, and equitable community.

With support from funders such as Cal Recycle, Wells Fargo, REDF, Ginnie and Peter Haas Jr., and The William G. Irwin Charity Foundation, CCNB purchased and is making renovations to a 25,000-square-foot building at 3555 Airway Dr. off Industrial Dr. in North Santa Rosa, which is accessible by walking or biking and close to public transportation routes.

Since the move began in March of this year, the new building represents more capacity for CCNB's Zero Waste program to expand their E-waste, mattress, and other recycling collection efforts, and the ability to provide more fire fuel reduction, flood prevention, and trail restoration services across Sonoma County.

"We are grateful to all who have been involved in making this vision a reality. In the six months since we made this move, we have seen immediate increases in recycling drop offs, quantity of field projects, and number of local young adults applying for our program. We can't wait to welcome more as our capacity continues to grow."
