Field Trip from Workshop at Covelo
Please join us in Corning for the seventh in a series of
workshops for FireScape Mendocino, Wednesday, December 2 and Thursday, December
3, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.
FireScape is a voluntary collaborative of residents,
agencies and organizations working to shape the future of our fire-prone
landscape in and near the Mendocino National Forest. Taking the next step in this collaborative
effort, our goals will be:
•
Hear from participants about ongoing work
related to our shared values and continue refining FireScape Mendocino
strategies.
•
Explore potential areas of work near Paskenta
and what might be involved in working at a watershed scale.
•
Discuss the summer’s fires and the effectiveness
of some readiness efforts.
•
Learn about large-scale fire planning and risk
assessment, and discuss its possible utility for fire planning.
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.
All meetings are open to the public and all are welcome
to participate. If you know someone who
might be interested in this, please pass along this invitation.
Prior workshop attendance is NOT required – Please come
if you are interested! 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.
*IMPORTANT NOTE:
Due to limited parking/road access during the field trip, FireScape
Mendocino will be assigning you to ride in one of the event vans. The only exception is if you are a government
official that may be called to an emergency.
