Format

The workshop format will be a hybrid of weekly zoom sessions and in-person field trip days. Participants will learn from regional, local and expert speakers on various topics, with opportunities for discussions and Q/A. To conclude the workshop, participants are invited to attend two, in-person field trip days to see demonstrations of various post-fire management strategies on private and public lands. 

A variety of educational resources such as readings, videos, fact sheets and more, will be provided throughout the course. Participants are encouraged to review resources on their own time, to further their understanding of each post-fire topic.   

Zoom meetings with all participants and presenters will take place once a week on Thursdays from 6-7:30pm.  The in-person field trips will visit burned landscapes, in Butte County on March 22.
