Incarcerated gardeners from Antelope Conservation Camp donated over 350 pumpkins to Lassen County schools for their fall festivals and events. The gardeners spent most of the summer nurturing and growing the pumpkins.
The pumpkins from Antelope Conservation Camp are just one example of community involvement.
Throughout the year, camp participants complete hundreds of hours of service projects.
Examples of community service includes:
- fuels reduction such as clearing brush, weeds, and other flammable material
- campus cleanup of local schools, fairgrounds, community parks, cemeteries, local water districts
- projects for local Fire Safe Councils
Since 1963, Antelope Conservation Camp #25 has served California residents through public works projects, community involvement, and public safety endeavors.
