WiseBites Academy
S
ometimes we choose a career. Other times a career chooses us. Rachelle has been lucky enough to have a career choose her twice. First with teaching, which just seemed to be in her blood and then with nutrition. WiseBites Academy + Nutrition Counseling is the natural result of blending both passions and careers. Having been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, 10 years ago, Rachelle found it necessary to manage her health through nutrition. It was at this time that she was forced to re-think
Rachelle
how she viewed food. No longer could she eat anything she wanted. She needed to be careful about what she ate and intentional about it as well. Taking what she learned for herself she was able to detect food allergies in her children (later confirmed via testing). Now she was not only managing her own unique health needs but also those of her children. The more she learned the more friends and family began asking her for advice. Feeling that she could only provide anecdotes safely, she chose to go back to school to learn all she could about nourishing individuals though diet and lifestyle changes. Rachelle chose to go to Bauman College for her certification as their program provides a holistic framework for nutrition education. This means that she has been taught to take the whole individual into account (medical history, family history, current needs, and future goals, likes, dislikes, personality, etc.). Through WiseBites, Rachelle is now
able to share her knowledge and experiences while teaching individuals, groups and teens. She does this by offering 4 different programs designed to educate individuals and groups about the benefits of improving their dietary habits. 1:1 Nutrition Counseling — Private sessions to review medical history, health conditions, current needs, future goals and to design a nutrition protocol. Nourishment Series — Lecture series on single nutrition related topics. Nutrition 101 — A 6-week-long

Key Property Looking for Conservation Owner
The Land Trust of Santa Cruz will Pay Conservation Easement
T
he 180 acre Seick Property was recently listed for sale at 699 Ryder Road may play an important role in maintaining habitat connectivity within central Santa Cruz County by helping connect protected land in and around Scotts Valley, Felton to Aptos. A least-cost path analysis conducted in 2013 revealed that the property is within a preferred corridor for five local species that inhabit the forests in the region: mountain lion, black tailed deer, bobcat, acorn woodpecker, and dusky-footed woodrat. The Seick Property also lies within a corridor connecting Quail Hollow Ranch County Park to the west, to the Land Trust’s Glenwood Property and Highway 17 connectivity project properties as well as the Soquel Demonstration Forest and Forest of Nisene Marks State Park further east. The north-south trending ridgeline on the western edge of the Seick parcel runs from the Morgan Preserve to the south, to the City of Santa Cruz and San Lorenzo Valley Water District watershed properties to the north, through the 180-acre Seick Parcel, and then the 255-acre Suhr property. Ridgelines are commonly used routes for wildlife movement. The Land Trust of Santa Cruz is potentially interested in working with the new owner and willing to pay for a conservation easement, whereas there would be limited building potential in the future and protect the land in-perpetuity. About the home: The 1⁄2-mile private driveway has several outdoor art sculptures leading to a unique custom estate built from the redwood milled on the property! The
previous owners owned an art gallery in Palo Alto and traveled the world looking for art. The listing agent, Paul Burrowes, is a real estate consultant with David Lyng Real Estate and manager of the Zayante Sandhills Conservation Bank.
It’s important that people realize this is a very special property not only because of its privacy but its location as part of the wildlife corridor and the connectivity to other large parcels. Contact information: paul@burrowes.com 831-295-5130.
With the rainy season well underway, irrigation can be kept at a minimum this time of year.
SAVE WATER SAVE MONEY
Why? Because shorter and cooler days mean less evaporation and water loss from plants. Even with long stretches without rain, you can cut your watering schedule way back. As a reminder, watering days within the District are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (during summer irrigation season). But most people stop watering completely during the winter months, and we encourage you to consider doing the same.
