Landscaping Appeal to you?
PG&E has mandated that the entire grove of Eucalyptus must come down. 97 trees 200 ft. high and 80 years old threaten the high voltage power lines along the back end of the ranch.
We would love someone with a desire to explore and a passion for landscaping_ erosion control knowledge and suggestions of a good choice for replacement trees.
PG&E will do all the work, including grinding stumps. If you are looking for an opportunity to work on a pretty good sized project, all the ideas and recommendation portion, this may be great for you.
We are on 2.40 acres. All the horses will have to be moved, and the tree felling should take 10 (working) days.
We need recommendations for tree species, erosion suggestions, and planting advice. (We can have 97 replacement trees planted, OR twice the amt. left for us to plant).
For you the benefit could be designing and seeing your implementation at no cost to you. Community services hours can be fullfilled. If you can see and meet our horses....guaranteed, you'll fall in love :)
PG&E hopes to confirm dates...Oct time frame.
Santa Cruz County.
Thanks!!!

Mission Statement
Mission Pregnant Mare Rescue (PMR) is Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) verified, 501(c)(3) certified nonprofit horse rescue dedicated to the fulfillment of three objectives: saving pregnant mares and orphaned foals subjected to various abuses; educating the public on the plight of our American equines today; and providing healing programs for children from all walks of life. Established in 2006, PMR operates as an equine rescue / rehabilitation center and temporary sanctuary. PMR specializes in providing the unique care required for pregnant mares and orphaned foals.
Description
We are a small grass roots organization working tirelessly to educate the public on the needs of our equines today. Our rescued horses are magnificent healthy horses deserving of a better life, and a forever home, not death by slaughter.
We have helped the ISPMB (international Society of Mustangs and Burro's) by accepting orphan foals from North Dakota. We have accepted Premarin mares right out of the barns in Canada , ready to foal. We serve the community and network to find homes for horses in need, when owners are down on their luck. PMR has even paid veterinary bills for strangers in order to keep their loved horse where they belong, right at home.
We track every horse we save for life, making sure they are guaranteed saftey and love the remainder of their days. For the babies, that can be a 30 year commitment. Our rescues have taught us that horses mentor the human spirit, and this gift we share, for free (The Wonder of Horses Program) to children and adults alike.
We are 100% run by volunteers .
