Please join us in Covelo for the sixth in a series of
workshops for FireScape Mendocino Wednesday, June 10th and Thursday, June 11th,
2015 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.
FireScape is a voluntary collaborative effort to shape
the future of our fire-prone landscape in and near the Mendocino National
Forest.
Working together, we will emphasize shared learning,
problem solving and action on the ground. Taking the next step in this
collaborative effort, our goals will be:
• Hear from each of the subgroups set up at the previous
workshop (Landscape-scale vegetation management, Creating fire-ready
communities, Air quality issues, Increasing tribal involvement in
FireScape) on their progress and next steps
• Allow time for subgroups to continue their work
• Continue to build shared learning among participants
During this two-day event, participants will work in both
small and large groups, indoors and outdoors. Guided by the best practices of
the North America Fire Learning Network, our collaboration is designed to
enable people with diverse perspectives to find zones of agreement
where we can achieve tangible results in our communities
and the surrounding landscape.
We need people...... With local community perspectives...
Who enjoy outdoor recreation (camping, hunting, hiking, OHV, etc.) ... With
perspectives on living with wildfires... Who manage land - whether it’s a
ranch, timberlands or their backyard ... With thoughts about community and
landscape planning ... With enthusiasm and an interest in the future of our
local landscapes

Lunch will be provided both days. There will be a field
trip on Wednesday, lasting much of the day and participants should be prepared
for changing weather conditions in the
field. The trip will be accessible, not leaving roads or
trails.
