As a year-round wildfire season becomes California’s new normal, the Council for Watershed Health has sought to continue convenings around local fire preparedness, defensible space and environmental impacts of increasing fires. With significant investments in climate resiliency, now is the time to take stock of what we have learned from more frequent blazes, our current practices and integrative solutions to ensure community and watershed health. The Symposium will consist of three-days of expert speaker presentations, panel discussions and poster sessions.
