Weather is also the hardest factor to control! Placer PBA is hosting this training to help community members better understand weather prescriptions and to introduce available tools and resources to PREDICT when a good weather window may be opening. Improving our ability to predict a prescribed burning weather window will help us all prepare our units in time\, apply and obtain necessary permits\, meet due diligence standards and intelligently manage risk\, and ultimately lead to a more fire-resilient community. The course will use prescription information to help landowners begin building a burn plan. This will be a great course to help prepare landowners planning for spring burns for invasive species management or those interested in preparing a burn plan for an early fall burn. \n\n\n\nThis course is hands-on and will require participants to bring a laptop\, tablet\, or cell phone to look up resources during the course. Minor preparatory work may be required. The course will be taught by Placer RCD’s Cordi Craig\, Prescribed Fire Program Manager\, and Chris Paulus\, Forestry Technical Advisor. \n\n\n\nThis course will be offered twice in two separate formats: 1) as two 2.5 hour weekday evening courses\, OR 2) as a 5-hour Saturday morning course. Please register for whichever course setup fits your schedule best. Do not register for both.

Beginners welcome!! The goal of this course is to encourage ALL community members to participate in managing fuels on their lands. Historically\, people who identify as women\, non-binary\, trans\, femme\, or Black\, Indigenous\, people of color (BIPOC) have constituted a relatively small portion of the fire/fuels workforce or community-led prescribed fire training opportunities. This is not a felling course and no certifications will be distributed. This is strictly to learn how to safely buck and limb and better understand how much fuels work can be completed with a small saw and some sweat!  \n\n\n\nThe course will be taught by two experienced sawyers (Class C Advanced Faller; more than 7 years’ experience as a climbing arborist). The course is limited to 15 participants. \n\n\n\nParticipants are REQUIRED to bring their own equipment and PPE including the below list. Participants who do not bring the appropriate PPE will not be permitted to participate. Fuel and bar oil will be provided. If you have questions about any of the below materials\, feel free to reach out to Cordi Craig at cordi@placerrcd.org. \n\n\n\n\nChainsaw (small or electric saws encouraged; bar lengths less than 20” encouraged) if you do not have your own saw\, reach out to a friend or family member who may be willing to let you borrow it to learn;\n\n\n\nChaps\n\n\n\nSaw sharpening tools\n\n\n\nScrench\n\n\n\nHelmet\n\n\n\nEar protection\, Eye protection\, Gloves\n\n\n\n\nTo register\, please email Cordi Craig with Subject Line: “Chainsaw Basics.” URL:https://placerrcd.org/event/chainsaw-basics/ LOCATION:California ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://placerrcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screenshot-2024-02-21-at-12.08.02-PM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240601T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240601T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T183052 CREATED:20240412T232049Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240417T001932Z UID:10957-1717236000-1717257600@placerrcd.org SUMMARY:Permaculture Workshop DESCRIPTION:Join Placer RCD and your neighbors for an enlightening Permaculture Workshop\, where you’ll discover how to design and implement a more sustainable and ecologically friendly form of gardening and agriculture with fewer inputs!
