Upcoming Workshop: Tending Oaks with Fire Mimicry

14 10 2025

Hey fellow tree-huggers, especially those in SoCal, how would you like to learn about the health and care of our old-growth oak forests and what we can do to mitigate wildfires using the knowledge of a broad community of stakeholders? Well next week Sudden Oak Life and the Santa Monica Mountains Fire Safe Council are giving you the opportunity to explore these issues together amid a mix of voices from the Indigenous Tribes of the LA basin, the National Park Service, California State Park Rangers, the local community fire safe council, and me, a western-trained ecologist. Please join us for a three-day (and night) learning and camping experience where you will not only up your skills, but, more importantly, you will help grow and strengthen the community of people that is necessary to better tend our forests.

This workshop will likely fill up so please consider registering soon and/or sharing this announcement with your community. Workshop registration: https://www.smmfsc.org/oakworkshop
