Land x Good Fire — A workshop series for Sonoma County landowners and managers to learn about good fire
Join fellows from Audubon Canyon Ranch’s Fire Forward fellowship program for Sonoma County residents to learn about good fire. Land x Good Fire is part of the Resilient Forests and Watersheds Workshops series, funded in part by National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and Sonoma County.
Through this series, landowners and managers will feel more empowered to take action on their property by exploring the possibilities and skills needed to reintroduce good fire in a similar environment. Workshops will explore concepts in fire ecology while learning more about what prescribed fire and natural resources work is being conducted nearby.
Each fellow will lead a standalone workshop in different environment types to see how prescribed fire is planned and conducted. These local community leaders across the North Bay are dedicated to learning the intricacies of good fire, increasing the region’s capacity to safely implement prescribed burning in support of healthy ecosystems.
