Led by Artist Ruth Chase, this workshop will explore the role of fire in forest restoration. Given the devastating, catastrophic fires our region is experiencing, why do forest managers want to introduce fire to the forest? What are the differences between wildfire, prescribed fire, controlled burning and cultural burning? What is the intended outcome of purposely burning the forest? What about smoke? Isn’t setting fires in the forest bad for air quality? Does smoke hurt the trees too? Won’t smoke make the atmosphere hotter?Helping us to learn and talk about fire and smoke are two U.S. Forest Service experts actively involved in restoration projects that include fire in the Tahoe National Forest.
Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to "Visioning Our Future Forest", a cultural response to evolving forest management practices that will be displayed at the FOREST⇌FIRE Exhibition and archived at the Truckee Donner Historical Society.
This workshop is open to the general public and is free for all. For more information and speakers, visit https://www.forestandfire.org/events
