Forest Futures Salons

Our Forest Futures Salons are tailored to build community engagement and awareness on the challenges with forest health in our region and the collaborative action that is taking place.

In our recent events, we explored what happens when fire hits our forests, how decisions are made and fires are fought, and what happens to the landscape after a fire. We discussed the work being done right here in our region, including fuel reduction, restoration and wood innovation projects, all of which aim to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire.

Recap of 2022 Fire Season

Thursday, Nov. 17 | 4pm | Zoom

With the Mosquito Fire quickly spreading just 35 miles outside of Tahoe Truckee, evacuation preparedness was the topic of conversation. Local CAL FIRE and US Forest Service representatives shared insights from the 2022 Fire Season and the factors that influenced the Mosquito Fire’s behavior.

Speakers:

  • Kyle Jacobson, Forest Fire Management Officer, Tahoe National Forest
  • Matt Furtado, Truckee Battalion Chief, CAL FIRE NEU
