?? Did you know? ?? CCNB's Zero Waste department now helps local wineries and tasting rooms properly dispose of recyclable materials, wine bottles, all for free! CCNB crews collect wine bottles, cardboard, PET plastic liner, and general plastic wrap. CCNB collects, stores, and ships this material to a variety of recyclers ensuring it gets responsibly recycled. ?? This project provides a needed waste diversion service to our community, and helps with these businesses' sustainability goals. #ccnb #wastediversion #zerowaste #winebottlerecycling #winetasting #recycle

Corpsmember Highlight: Salvador Sal started at CCNB a little under a year ago, and in that short span of time, he acquired an outstanding amount of experience and certificates, such as pole saw, Chipper 1, and Sawyer 1 & 2. He also moved up to Level 2 within 4 months of his employment. Sal has a calm and collected demeanor, which provides the team with a sense of security under stressful conditions. His supervisor expresses that no matter the condition, he stands his ground, holds the line, and weather the storm like a true warrior! Congrats, Sal!

?? Last month. CCNB corpsmembers took a trip to Point Reyes National Seashore. In collaboration with our partners at Explore the Coast, corpsmembers learned about elephant seals at Drake's Beach, plat species around the park, and the Coast Miwok people at a Miwok village recreation during this visit. ?? This exposure ties their hands-on work in conservation to a broader understanding of local lands, their inhabitants and their history. #pointreyes #ccnb #conservation #conservationcorps #explorethecoast

She has attained a number of certificates that strengthen her resume, including Chipper, Sawyer, Power Carrier, OSHA 10, and Certified Forklift Operator, among many others. Yamileth also holds a leadership role on the crew as one of our translators; she’s tasked with translating important and critical information from staff members to other ESL corpsmembers. She’s a valuable contributor to our crew day in and day out, and we are so proud of what she’s accomplished and what she’ll accomplish in the future!

He is quick to provide smiles, fist bumps, and hellos when arriving or returning to the office. Congrats, Julio!
