SATURDAYS: September 25 | October 2 | October 23 | November 6
Please join us on the land in learning about, and taking action for, improved fire and forest ecology in the mixed hardwood forest of Green Valley. You will learn about fuel load reduction strategies and the multitude of benefits of engaging with ecosystems alongside a few of the land's active stewards.
We acknowledge and deeply respect that the ecosystems and land of what we call Green Valley were stewarded by the Southern Pomo, Coast Miwok and Kashia Pomo peoples for over a millennia. We warmly welcome all descendants of Native California Tribes to connect if they would like to engage around the stewardship of the land we call Green Valley.
This series will be in preparation for prescribed burning this fall in collaboration with Fire Forward and we look forward to seeing you and working alongside you!
