The Nature Conservancy’s Fire Learning Network and The Watershed Center have partnered to convene a “State of Our Forests” conference to be held July 8-9 in Weaverville, California. According to an announcement, this will be the first meeting of the:
…California Klamath-Siskiyou Fire Learning Network (CKSFLN). The CKSFLN is a learning network comprised of land managers, practitioners, industry leaders, local communities and county governments, Tribes, local and regional conservation and environmental groups, and fire safe and watershed councils. Three science panels are scheduled to provide context and create the basis for shared understanding around current forest conditions, fire ecology of the region, and learning around recent local fire events. In addition to the science panels, the USFS will address the group to express their commitment to working in the CKSFLN forum. The Nature Conservancy will share models of successful learning networks they have catalyzed in other regions, and act as mentors as we navigate new partnerships and strengthen existing collaborations. You will have the opportunity to join the CKSFLN and commit to working in the open forum it provides, explore challenges and share ideas and resources, coordinate with existing and potential partners, and determine next steps.
The announcement said the agenda and logistical information will be available in June. In addition, it said to please RSVP before June 15th by calling The Watershed Center at 530.628.4206, or email them at wrtc at hayfork dot net.
