DEMONSTRATION: CAL FIRE and Local Tribes Share Knowledge and Practices at Chamberlain Cultural Burn
At a recent cultural burn in the Chamberlain area of JDSF, CAL FIRE demonstrated its continued commitment to collaboration and partnership with tribal communities across the state while learning, creating, and documenting cultural resources and practices. The burn was conducted to facilitate a learning session between CAL FIRE staff and Tribes local to JDSF. All participants shared knowledge on traditional stewardship through fire, and how CAL FIRE deals with fire on a California landscape with climate change in the forefront of the Californian’s minds. The burn was also conducted to remove hazardous vegetation and reduce the risk of conflagration fires and protect the resources on JDSF.
