The Yuba Bear Burn Cooperative Presents Spring 2022 Prescribed Fire Events


The Yuba Bear Burn Cooperative Prescribed Fire Events

Prescribed Burn Planning workshop

The Yuba Bear Burn Cooperative is excited to announce YBBC will be hosting a BURN PLANNING event with Erin Banwell and Miller Bailey, of The Watershed Research & Training Center on April 2 and 3rd!

This all-day, hands-on workshop is an amazing opportunity to learn from two experienced burn planners who are also great teachers. We will walk a landowner's forested burn units and develop a written burn plan together (suitable for submission to CAL FIRE). Learn how to define "burn objectives," pick a useful burn "prescription", and know the right amount of "resources" (humans and equipment) you'll need for a safe burn and mop-up. Bring lunch, water, and a way to take notes! Capped at 30 participants. Register here.

Dates: April 2 and 3

Location: Address will be sent to those who register. Location is off of HWY 20, approximately 20 mins northeast of downtown Nevada City.

Time: Saturday and Sunday: 0900-1500 both days

Things to bring: snacks, lunch, water, mask, layered field clothes, sturdy boots (we will be hiking off trail). Notebook.

Covid-19: Masks will be required indoors, and if we are not able to physically distance outside. We will also require a daily Covid-19 Self Evaluation.
