TNC California’s Forest Strategy Lead, Dan Porter said: “We’re grateful for Congressman Valadao’s leadership on the newly introduced, bipartisan National Prescribed Fire Act, which offers a clear pathway to accelerate the pace and scale of prescribed fire across the western U.S."
Wildland crews continue to monitor the French Meadows RX burn. The prescribed burns are being conducted to clean up understory and improve drainage areas around the watershed. New ignitions are not expected until mid-week. @PlacerWater @nature_org inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident-publi…

.@CAL_FIRE has rolled out a Prescribed Fire Liability Claims Fund Pilot providing new protections for #PrescribedBurn and cultural burning practitioners with $20M allocated to cover rare losses: bit.ly/TF-Claims-Fund @CalNatResources #WildfireTaskForce #TaskForceProgress
So excited to see the CalFire Prescribed Fire Claims Fund pilot going live! So many contributed to this but @BillDoddCA and @GavinNewsom's leadership on removing barriers to good fire has been instrumental. @lenyaqd and @Nature_Fire deserve a ton of credit as well. Hurray!
Tahoe National Forest, in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy, plans to prescribed burn up to 500-acres near French Meadows Reservoir. Dependent on environmental conditions, the burn is planned to start June 21 and may last up to two weeks. inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-infor….
How do we grow a skilled workforce to expand the use of beneficial fire? Here's one example! actionnewsnow.com/news/300-acre-…
Based on growing number of reports from Sierra, where lives have become increasingly disrupted by successive extreme snowfalls--including impassable roads, power/heat outages, avalanches, & roof collapses--outlook (i.e., yet more heavy snow) is increasingly daunting.#CAwx #CAsnow
California will need thousands of skilled workers to stem the impacts of catastrophic wildfires. To learn more and join the conversation, please read the following by my colleagues Sarah Heard and Bradley Franklin: scienceforconservation.org/assets/downloa…

Basking in the glow of an amazing week in the High Sierra with TNC colleagues. The glow of fall aspens was pretty good too!
He also said decades of industrial logging have caused "shifting baseline syndrome," meaning people's perception of the landscape is based on what they see, and the depleted state of forests in the province has become "normalized." cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
With @CAgovernor’s signing of the Prescribed Fire Claims Fund (#SB926), CA has made important progress towards making prescribed fire a more accessible tool in combatting our state’s devastating megafires. TNC is a proud sponsor of this bill authored by @BillDoddCA. (1/2)
