Скачать или смотреть Workforce Development: Ecological Principals of Fuel Treatments in Sonoma County

This video highlights trainings conducted over the past two years by the County of Sonoma through a grant from National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the PG&E Settlement Fund. Led by Sonoma County Ag + Open Space, Gold Ridge Resource Conservation District, Occidental Arts & Ecology Center, Ecological Solutions and Sonoma Ecology Center, crews were exposed to a wide variety of fuel treatments and the ecological perspective of why each treatment is used under diverse conditions. These fuel treatments included forest thinning, prescribed grazing, prescribed fire and gully stuffing to reduce soil erosion. This was a hands-on workshop for fuels crews to learn from Sonoma County’s best vegetation management experts and explore career opportunities in this field.
