Traditional Learnings: Into the Field with Yurok and U.S. Forest Service Experts on Cultural Burning of Forested Lands

In the summer of 2021, Northwest CASC Tribal Climate Adaptation Liaisons and staff were invited by Northwest CASC-supported researchers from the U.S. Forest Service and the Yurok Tribe to join them on their site visits with cultural practitioners from the Cultural Fire Management Council. On the ancestral lands of the Yurok Tribe near Weitchpec, CA, engagement of traditional practitioners, Tribal staff, and government scientists has helped to integrate the concepts of holistic forest management and system resilience.
