POSTPONED — A Landowners Primer: Manage Woodlands for Wildfire

This event is postponed until Spring 2021. A confirmation will be sent to our events email list once it is confirmed.

Landowners have been tutored on how to protect their homes and their access routes in case of a wildfire, but many of us have forest land on our properties and may not be fully aware of the steps we can take to protect ourselves and our neighbors from the speed and ferocity of a wildfire through proactive management of this forest land. Sonoma State University’s Center for Environmental Inquiry, The Redwood Forest Foundation, Inc. and Anderson Valley Land Trust are presenting a program to help you learn the steps you can take, depending upon the type of forest you have on your land, to mitigate the severity and duration of a wildfire. Learn about the tools and techniques from a diverse group of forestry experts willing and anxious to share their knowledge so you can gain the skills to be environmentally ready. The program will include information and a demonstration of a conservation burn and the creation of biochar.

These outings are made possible in part by grants from The Community Foundation of Mendocino County and the Frederick E. and Anne R. Barstow Fund at the East Bay Community Foundation. This event is presented in partnership with Sonoma State University Center for Environmental Inquiry and Galbreath Wildlands Preserve.
