SHARED VISION THROUGH INCLUSIVE, MULTI-BENEFIT REGIONAL PLANNING
Integrate Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Collaboration with Tribes
The purpose of the Burning Across Boundaries Project is to support collaborative planning that can enable tribes and partners throughout the North Coast region to work together in utilizing prescribed fire as a tool for achieving long term forest and ecosystem health. The intended result is the broadening and strengthening of a network of tribal fire practitioners with varying degrees of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and fire experience. The proposed project will serve as a model for region-wide peer-to-peer training through the Regional Forest and Fire Capacity Program.
