Link to Field Workshop Registration
This is an informative and interactive field workshop focused on enhancing home protection and forest resiliency in Siskiyou County. The workshop will be held at Wherrit Forest, a Siskiyou Land Trust property. Representatives from key organizations, such as CAL FIRE, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Prescribed Burn Association, Siskiyou Land Trust, and more will provide overviews of their ongoing projects. These speakers will give insight to the resources and services available to landowners and community members for improving forest health and fire preparedness on their own property, including services such as defensible space creation, home assessments, and grant funding opportunities.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers in a Q&A discussion about what organizations can offer and identify specific resource needs. This workshop is ideal for landowners, community members, and anyone interested in learning more about forest management and wildfire resilience in the Mount Shasta region.
