Participants will use online resources on their own time to complete learning modules and short activities. Zoom meetings with all participants and presenters will take place once a week on Wednesdays, from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
The focus is on recent fires in the central Sierra Nevada. The in-person field trips will visit the Creek and Oak fires to see fire impacts, restoration needs and strategies and restoration projects on private and public lands.
