Action Forum for Post-Wildfire Restoration

Course description

Funded by the Weston Family Foundation, the initial gathering (Thursday, Feb. 20) and subsequent forum (Friday, Feb. 21) will provide an opportunity to share knowledge and perspectives and develop a guidance document and strategy for post-fire recovery. A focus will be on immediate needs and opportunities for practical, community informed science-based interventions, ensuring outcomes that help local communities and governments restore vital ecosystems, enhance resilience to climate change, and preserve biodiversity for future generations. For instance, the gathering and forum will address the critical shortage of native seeds and plants necessary for effective and appropriate post-fire restoration. Breakfast and lunch is provided.
