Anticipating Wildfire: Building Partnerships & Bridging Boundaries on Wed., May 26, 2021 from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM PDT Altered landscapes, a rapidly changing climate, and an expanding wildland-urban interface exacerbate large fire risk and the need to proactively plan for wildfires. This workshop will daylight analytical tools and approaches that enable broad partnerships to plan together to integrate forest and social values for fire resilient landscapes and communities. How this manifests varies geographically, but a primary goal is to build social networks and partnerships that facilitate strategic ecological forest thinning and prescribed burning to support a range of safe and effective wildfire response options. This webinar will begin with a short presentation, followed by breakout sessions in separate online “meeting rooms.” Participants will co-learn about social approaches and risk-based analytics to quantify wildfire risk and transmission of risk across landscapes. Presentations by Chris Dunn (Oregon State University) and Kerry Metlan (The Nature Conservancy) To register, hit the read more button below.

California Climate Action Corps (CAC)- Local Government Commission will continue to hold spots for Tribes until July Local Government Commission (LGC) is implementing California Climate Action Corps (CAC), a climate action and community mobilization program focused on greening, wildfire resiliency, and food waste recovery/security. This year, the California Climate Action Corps positions are fully funded by California Volunteers and partners will not need to provide a fiscal contribution (which is usually about $29,000 per Fellow.) LGC would like to hold spots for Tribes and believe it could be a good opportunity for Tribes to have a Fellow(s) work on climate action projects for 11 months. Please see the attached program flyer. LGC is accepting applications on a rolling basis, and would be happy to support and answer questions. The partner application deadline for the CAC is May 7th, by which LGC encourages interested parties to apply, however, LGC will continue to hold spots for Tribes until July.
