Larrie Mason, 1993
Larrie Mason is an RPF from Burney, California, and received the Golden Trowel Award in 1993 for his excellent work in archaeology and cultural resource management. The Northeast Information Center notified CAL FIRE that year that Larrie¡¦s archeological survey reports and site records are consistently some of the best they see from any forester working in Northeastern California. His discovery of a major prehistoric village site containing housepit depressions, rock rings, midden, and abundant surface artifacts in a location previously surveyed indicates the intensive effort Larrie makes during his diligent search for archeological sites which may be located within his Timber Harvesting Plans. The fact that he routinely records and provides complete protection for most of these sites is another example of the excellent stewardship he practices in California.
