A New Act
Happily, the heart of the campus, the amphitheater, will now receive a much needed makeover. The amphitheater is essentially the same structure built by volunteers in the early 1960s. It has held up faithfully through thousands of sing-alongs, bonfires, storms, and intrusions by ground squirrels. With tree roots cracking and crumbling concrete, it is time for a new act for the amphitheater.
Updated Space
The amphitheater rehabilitation plan will maintain the same design and location, but with new and expanded seating, and improved accessibility for students and visitors. New concrete, with removal of non-native trees and stumps, will further enhance this space. We are excited to update this space for new generations of students to learn, laugh, and make lifelong memories at Whiskeytown Environmental School.
Our Budget
The amphitheater rehabilitation project budget is estimated to be $75,000. Anderson Rotary, Redding East Rotary, Redding Rotary, and Redding West Rotary have kick-started the project with a recent grant of $17,250 for materials plus donated labor. The grant writing team at Redding East Rotary worked overtime to produce the grant; the community spirit of these four clubs is amazing and appreciated!
