Shasta Headwaters

Written By Village Responder

People are drawn to the rural communities surrounding Mount Shasta because of the regal forests, fertile soils, natural beauty, recreational opportunities and cool, clean rivers that flow from the mountain. As Siskiyou County struggles to redefine the regions retired timber economies, citizen groups have been busy defending our economically disadvantaged communities against industrial exploitation and predatory capitalism. Visit www.waterforweedca.org, www.cawater.net, www.mountshastaecology.org, and www.shastaheadwaters.com to learn more about past and current campaigns to hold corporations accountable, and maintain water as a human right, protected by the Public Trust.

Village Responder

Village Responder is a collaboration to take the lessons learned from one community’s experience and create an organised training that brings the depth and accessibility of a WFR together with the unique needs of a medically resource-poor environment. The goal is to empower communities and individuals to become strong, self-reliant and take responsibility for their own medical wellbeing. Through the International First Responder course, Village Responder is changing lives and strengthening the social fabric in villages of all shapes and sizes, worldwide.
