NORTHERN CALIFORNIA — The Mendocino National Forest is hosting a series of community sessions on post-wildfire recovery to gather a diverse range of public input that will be used to inform future restoration efforts, with one of those meetings to be held in Nice.

Everyone who lives, works or recreates in the forest is encouraged to attend to learn more about the impacts of recent wildfires and share their input on prioritizing investments in its recovery.

Participants will be guided through stations to identify the places and activities they care about most on the forest and to provide input on future conditions.

Families are encouraged to attend and bring their kids for fun activities and to meet Smokey Bear. A Spanish translator will be available.

Input sessions will be interactive and will take about 45 minutes. Community members are invited to come between 5 and 7:30 p.m. No registration is required.

The session for Lake County will be held on Monday, Nov. 27, at Robinson Rancheria, 1545 State Highway 20, Nice.

More information about the community sessions is available online.
