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.
