Recovering from Wildfire Workshop

Oct 14, 2015 by editor

The University of California in partnership with the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, Amador Resource Conservation District and the Amador Fire Safe Council are co-hosting a workshop on Recovering from Wildfire: resources for private landowners. Participants will learn about resources available to aid in landscape recovery after wildfire.  The workshop will be held at the San Andreas Town Hall, 24 Church St., San Andreas on October 28th, 2015 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The workshop objectives are to increase understanding of the role of wildfire in forest development and change, post-fire issues and treatment options and to provide information on post-fire treatment cost-share programs, tax issues and professional assistance for post-fire treatments for private landowners.

This workshop is focused on the needs of landowners affected by the Butte fire, but also welcomes citizens interested in the future of forests after wildfire, staff and decision makers with state, local, federal and tribal agencies concerned with forest management, defensible space, and water quality.

The workshop is free, however pre-registration is required as seating is limited.  Details and registration can be found on our website: http://ucanr.edu/buttefireworkshop and in the attached flyer.Flyer Butte fire Workshop 10-28-2015
