About the Network

Our approach aims to foster a deeper connection between people and landscapes. We seek to preserve the legacy of over 10,000 years of beneficial fire and ecological interaction by honoring the traditional ecological knowledge and stewardship practices of Indigenous Nations on unceded California land.
