RESTORATION INTENSIVE

Fire, Forests, & Animal Allies

March 28 @ 2:00 pm April 4 @ 5:00 pm

Restoration Intensive: Fire, Forests, & Animal Allies

Earth Activist Training’s Restoration Intensive is an in-depth, hands-on course teaching practical land restoration skills. This intensive focuses on fire-resilient landscapes, erosion, and stream restoration, and integrating livestock as an element of restoration.

There’s a quiet revolution going on in the woods! Communities are banding together to take responsibility for their forests and grasslands to create more safety and resilience in the face of climate-intensified wildfires. This ten-day intensive will immerse you in one such community, and give you hands-on experience with the many aspects of forest and grassland management. We will be assessing the forest for fire danger, thinning, pruning, limbing up, creating shaded fuel breaks, pile burns, prescribed burns (weather permitting), working with government and other local agencies, making biochar, inoculating mushrooms, and creating other value-added products from the woods.

Grazing can be one of our key tools for fire prevention and grassland regeneration, when done right. In our animal care segments, we’ll have a chance to work with sheep, goats, cows, poultry, and live-stock guardian and herding dogs. We will learn about animal care, psychology and training, fencing, herding, and other aspects of humane care.
