Community Comes Together for Child Abuse Prevention Month
On Tuesday, April 18th, the Board of Supervisors proclaimed April 2023 as Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month in Nevada County. This is a time for communities to rally together to build caring connections, supportive environments, and positive experiences for children and families. The Child Abuse Prevention Council of Western Nevada County (CAPC) and Nevada County encourage everyone to support children in their communities by prioritizing and collaborating with families. All month we will be bringing awareness to Child Abuse Prevention Month by encouraging individuals and organizations to WEAR BLUE FOR KIDS every Friday.
Historical Landmarks Commission Invites Public to Participate in National Marker Day
The Nevada County Historical Landmarks Commission invites residents to participate in this year’s National Marker Day on April 28th. This national event is designed to help clean and maintain the almost 200,000 historical markers believed to exist in the United States.
Nevada County has over 200 historical landmarks. The Historical Landmarks Commission is looking for volunteers to visit the markers in their neighborhood. There are many ways of locating the County’s markers; residents can visit the interactive map of the County’s landmarks or purchase an electronic or paperback copy of the book Exploring Nevada County, a guide to all the County’s landmarks.
