External Event: Fire in Bay Area Forests

July 24 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Friend, Foe, or Frenemy?

“California’s forests and the Bay Area’s diverse ecosystems have evolved alongside fire for millennia – our local landscapes depend on periodic fires for regeneration and biodiversity. But we face challenges maintaining a balance in the fire-prone Bay Area where urban areas intersect open spaces. 

Join Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) for a live one-hour webinar exploring the critical relationship between wildfires and forest health in the Bay Area and beyond.

Topics to be discussed include

  • The rich history of California’s forests and their natural fire cycles
  • Traditional ecological knowledge and fire management practices
  • Understanding “good fire”: prescribed burns and other fuel reduction methods
  • Climate change impacts and POST’s conservation and restoration approaches
  • Practical actions and resources for community protection

🌟 Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how organizations like POST are working to build healthier, more resilient forests in the Bay Area.
