Region 5 is already working to develop greater collaborative relationships with forest stewards and stakeholders within the Forests along the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges. The new National Planning Rule is set for release November 2011 and the Draft of that rule set to release this December, but the region isn’t waiting for the rule to start talking to people.
On November 4, 2010 (9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), Forest Service (“FS”) is holding a Dialog session in Sacramento (See Flyer). The Dialog originated from the February 2010 Pre-and Post Wildfire Forest Management Restoration and Resiliency conference. Participants wanted more discussion of planning and implementation of policies for greater forest health; specifically, strategic fuels treatments across landscapes with mixed ownerships, adaptive management, increasing public and agency education and ecosystem services.
The Dialog session is open to the public, but there is a $15 fee to register. (The fee is likely to cover the cost of refreshments, which state and federal agencies are not able to provide for free).
