This series of workshops and field days will focus on: 

1. (a) Education and hands-on training for ranchers regarding the use of prescribed fire for range improvement, weed management, and fuel load reduction; and (b) Creating new and strengthening existing rancher networks to assist in preparing for and responding to wildfire with the region. 

Our guest speaker for this event will be Dr. Rosie Busch and Dr. Gaby Maier from the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine. Register below. For more information, contact Dan Macon at dmacon@ucanr.edu or (530) 889-7385.
