LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – FireScape Mendocino is hosting a workshop this week on the impact of the Ranch and August fires on the Mendocino National Forest and the current recovery process.
The workshop, entitled “Our Future in a Fire-adapted Landscape,” will take place from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. April 28 and 29. Different topics will be covered each day.
FireScape Mendocino is a voluntary, inclusive and collaborative effort to shape the future of the fire-prone landscape in and near the Mendocino National Forest. Working together, they emphasize shared learning, problem-solving and action on the ground.
This week’s workshop will explore post-fire observations and experiences from the Ranch and August Complex wildfires, factors influencing future forests and landscapes, and upcoming land management projects being proposed by the Mendocino National Forest in response to the August Complex.
Organizers are seeking participants with local perspectives, interests in outdoor recreation, experiences living with wildfires, experience owning or managing land, thoughts about community and landscape planning, enthusiasm and an interest in shaping the future of local landscapes.
Participants will engage with a variety of collaborators. Guided by the best practices of the North America Fire Learning Network, FireScape Mendocino is designed to enable people with diverse perspectives to find ways to work together to achieve tangible results in communities and the surrounding landscapes.
The workshop is free and open to the public; everyone is welcome to participate.
Community participation in this workshop will help guide FireScape Mendocino as its community-based collaboration transitions from planning to project development and implementation.
