A special thank you to Pat Frost and Carol Fall for their countless hours of dedication to developing and maintaining the Youth Garden at the Young Family Ranch.
In 2005 Trinity County RCD began the popular Weaverville Summer Day Camp, which is held at the Young Family Ranch. Each year we hire local high school and college students as counselors, giving many the opportunity to work at a “real” job for the first time.
