Resilient Forests & Watersheds Series Success
During fall of 2023 through May of 2024, Regenerative Forest Solutions was pleased to co-host the Resilient Forests & Watersheds Series with Sonoma Ag + Open Space and Gold Ridge Resource Conservation District.
The workshops provided presentations, hands-on learning, a tour of forest treatments, and technical assistance to 136 forest landowners, managers and planners throughout the Russian River Watershed. We are grateful to all of the attendees and speakers who made the events impactful and to Fire Safe Sonoma for letting us utilize the Listos Tool Trailer. This phenomenal community resource is stocked with all that community projects may need for forest and vegetation management projects in Sonoma County and can be checked out by going to the link above.
We’re looking forward to more ways to support and host these types of events in the future.
