Coming Soon!

I’m looking forward to being a participant in the first SF Bay CalTREX (TREX is prescribed-fire training exchange)! This weekend’s burn won’t happen as scheduled; we’ll try again another weekend. The trainings have become highly local to safely address the COVID pandemic: we wear masks, and all who are able go home each night to sleep (instead of 2 weeks of camping out and putting good fire on the ground). For more information, check out Fire Forward in Sonoma County and the TREX program.
