In Classroom Experience
It’s time to get Fire Smart! In collaboration with California Fire Foundation, and with guidance from Mendocino Fire Safe Council, Conservation works is bringing wildfire resilience education to Mendocino County K-8 Students!
Our goal is to give students the necessary framework to understand wildfire and what it means to be resilient in the face of it. We talk about the causes, how climate change interacts with it, and mitigation efforts through an interactive game. It is an open space to talk about fire, our fears, and how we can join our community in keeping each other safe.
We are also offering a Grazing for Wildfire workshop, where we will have a demonstration of grazing animals eating vegetation with a grazing expert to talk about how useful they are! Here we will learn one of the best mitigation efforts for wildfire while building community. More information coming soon.
The curriculum for this lesson has been adapted and inspired by Mendocino Fire Safe Council “Fire Science” lessons.
