Fire Resilience on Your Land: Water Flow & Soil Hydration

When the soil on your land is full of water, it withstands fire better. To teach how to help your soil retain water. Camp Fire Restoration Project, in collaboration with Concow Meadows Research Station, will host a workshop called “Fire Resilience on Your Land: Water Flow and Soil Hydration” from 9am–5pm RESCHEDULED to Saturday, February 20th (due to predictions of heavy rain--new rain date Saturday the 27th) at the Concow Meadows Research Station (http://concowmeadows.org), 13550 Hog Ranch Rd., Concow.
