In partnership with the Pala Band of Missions Indians, we hosted a day-long training for Tribes on fuels management in our region. As climate change continues to exacerbate conditions leading to large, catastrophic fires it's more important than ever to uplift Indigenous knowledges of cultural and prescribed fire management and advance a model for co-management of all ancestral homelands.

To support regional resilience in the face of climate change, we partnered with fire and fuels management experts, climate science researchers, and Tribal knowledge holders to host over twenty individuals from across southern California for a week-long training. Participants gained foundational certification and integral knowledge on fire and fuels management, climate impacts, and cultural awareness, preparing them for a career in wildland firefighting and fuels management.
