Iyo SCC inoumbwa nevechidiki vanoshaya, vane makore 18-24. Vazhinji vevechiduku ava havagoni kukwikwidza mumusika wemabasa. Vamwe havasati vapedza chikoro chesekondari. Vamwe vane macriminal records. CSET neSCC zvinopa vechidiki ava kudzidziswa basa nekuiswa, pamwe nerubatsiro kunhengo dzezvitunha kuti vawane madhipuroma echikoro chesekondari. Vakapa pamusoro pe4,000 vechidiki vechidiki vane kudzidziswa basa uye mikana yekudzidza mumakore makumi maviri apfuura.
Mamwe emapurojekiti ekutanga eSCC aisanganisira kugadzirisa nzira uye kusimudzira muSequoia uye Kings Canyon National Parks. Basa ravo mune mamwe masango emunyika anoyevedza zvakangoita kuti rive mikana yekuunza sango kunzvimbo dzemaguta dzinoshandirwa neCSET.

Masangano maviri aya achiri kushanda nemaoko kusima miti nhasi. Mazhinji emapurojekiti aya anotarisa pamatanho asina kushandiswa emumiouki uye zvidyarwa zvepasi zvinoiswa munzira nyowani dzekufamba dzakachekwa nenhengo dzeSCC. Nzira idzi dzinopa kupukunyuka kwakasvibira munzvimbo yaizoramba isingashandiswi, uye inopa vagari nevashanyi zvakafanana maonero ekuti mabhenefiti echirongwa chakasimba chedzidzo yezvakatipoteredza angarevei kudunhu nevechidiki vari panjodzi.
Nepo nhengo zhinji dzenharaunda dzichifarira runako rwenzvimbo idzi, vazhinji havazive zvimwe zvakanakira CSET inopa nharaunda kuburikidza nechirongwa chayo chemasango emumaguta. Nzira dzakasvibira dzinotora mvura yemadutu, dzinowedzera hugaro hwemhuka dzesango, uye dzinovandudza mhepo munharaunda inogara ichiiswa seimwe yakaipisisa munyika yekusvibiswa kweutsi uye ozone.
CSET inoenderera mberi nekuedza kwayo kuwedzera kuoneka pane zvinobatika mabhenefiti epurojekiti yayo kuburikidza neakasiyana maturusi nezviwanikwa. Imwe yakadaro imari yemubatanidzwa yakachengetedzwa neCEST muna 2010 kuburikidza neAmerican Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Idzi mari dzinotungamirwa neCalifornia ReLeaf dziri kutsigira chirongwa chakasiyana-siyana umo nhengo dzeSCC dzichange dzichishanda kudzoreredza sango remuBalley Oak riri pedyo nerukova rwusina zvinomera panguva ino ichivandudza nzvimbo yemasango emuguta reVisalia. Chirongwa ichi chinounza bhenefiti yakawedzerwa yekusikwa kwemabasa kudunhu rine 12% yekushaikwa kwemabasa kubva muna Gumiguru, 2011.
Zvakawanda zvekubudirira kwechirongwa ichi uye chirongwa cheCSET chemasango emumaguta chinogona kunzi naNathan Higgins, Murongi weCSET's Urban Forestry Programme. Mukuenzanisa nekugara kwenguva refu kweSCC, Nathan achiri mutsva pabasa uye nemasango emudhorobha. Asati auya kuCSET, Nathan aishandira kuchengetedza nzvimbo dzemusango mumapaki emunyika ari pedyo uye masango enyika. Pakanga pasati pari kutozosvikira ashanda mumhoteredzo yomuguta apo iye akaziva kuti masango enzanga aikosha sei.
“Ndakawana chizaruro chekuti, kunyangwe vanhu vemunzvimbo idzi vachingogara maminetsi makumi mana nemashanu kubva kune dzimwe nzvimbo dzepaki dzepamusoro munyika, vazhinji vavo havakwanise kuita rwendo rupfupi kunoona mapaki. Sango remudhorobha rinounza zvisikwa kuvanhu pavanenge vari,” anodaro Higgins.
Haana kungoona chete kuti masango emumaguta anogona kuchinja sei nharaunda, asiwo machinjiro aanoita vanhu. Paakabvunzwa mienzaniso yezvinoitwa neSCC kunhengo dzeCorps, Nathan anokasira kupindura nenyaya dzemajaya matatu ane hupenyu hwaakaona hwakashandurwa.
Nyaya nhatu idzi dzose dzinotanga nenzira imwechete - murume wechidiki akapinda muSCC aine mukana mudiki wekuvandudza hupenyu hwake. Mumwe akatanga senhengo yevashandi uye akakwidziridzwa kuita mutariri wevashandi, achitungamira mamwe majaya nemhandara kunatsiridza hupenyu hwavo sezvaakaita. Mumwe ave kushanda neGuta reVisalia Park neDhipatimendi reVaraidzo semudzidzi ari kugadzirisa mapaki. Internship yake inotarisira kushanduka kuita chinzvimbo chakabhadharwa sezvo mari inowanikwa.
