Learn to pile burn safely with Dario Davidson, Wildfire-Ready Coalition lead forester volunteer, and Haley Coopergard from NCRCD

In this free, hands-on workshop, learn how to build and burn a simple burn pile safely. Burning is a great way to reduce fuels, especially dead or old branches and small logs—particularly if you have a lot of ladder fuels to remove and don’t have easy access to green waste removal.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn about:

• The best way to build and burn a pile so it burns fast and clean, with less smoke
• How to make it easier on yourself with “feeder piles”
• When permits are required, what kinds are needed, and the consequences of burning without one
• How to burn safely and ensure your pile does not escape

Led by Dario Davidson, Wildfire-Ready Coalition lead forester volunteer, and Haley Coopergard from the Nevada County Resource Conservation District.

 

Location: Round Mountain FWC, Nevada City, CA
