Nevada County Environmental Health Announces 2023 Mosquito Fish Giveaway Days
Nevada County’s Environmental Health Department will host five Mosquito Fish Giveaways at the Eric Rood Center, all on Thursdays, beginning May 11th and going through July 6th.
“Mosquito fish consume a lot of insect larvae in ponds or other standing bodies of water,” explained Amy Irani, Environmental Health Director. “By reducing the mosquito population in larvae form, you can reduce the mosquito population and your risk of contracting mosquito-borne diseases, including the West Nile Virus. My team also wants to remind folks to check and remove standing water from pots, bins, buckets, and tires. We all play a role in reducing the risk of infection.”
Equity & Inclusion Leadership Alliance Announces Community Survey
Some things are a crime, and some things just aren’t right! Safe and Unified Nevada County (SUN) believes we can address both–and build a stronger community–by sharing our experiences, finding common ground, and providing meaningful support to those negatively impacted by hate crimes and hate incidents in our area.
SUN is a subcommittee of the Equity & Inclusion Leadership Alliance (EILA), which consists of representatives from the Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) Coalition, county and municipal departments, law enforcement, the judicial system, healthcare, faith-based groups, education, the arts, the social justice non-profit Color Me Human, and other vital organizations. It is a vibrant mix of leaders working to address the current needs of our community and plan for a brighter future.
In the spirit of Victims’ Rights Week, SUN is asking all Nevada County residents to share their insights in the 2023 SUN Survey to move forward in the spirit of candor and collaboration.
