"While CAL FIRE and the California Forestry Association (Calforests) have partnered together to implement wildfire prevention and recovery tactics across the state and are investing countless resources to protect our communities, we implore Californians to do their part by implementing community fuel breaks, participating in fire awareness events and safeguarding individual homes... ...The bottom line is this: Community collaboration is the best defense against wildfires — everyone stepping up and making efforts to protect their properties for the good of their fellow citizen. We all play a part in protecting the places we call home." - California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)'s Chief Joe Tyler & #Calforests' CEO & prez Matt Dias for The San Diego Union-Tribune 👏 Read the full article here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g2RtsfrJ #wildfireprevention #wildfirerecovery #fuelbreaks #fireawareness #wildfireprotection

"In a new study published in the journal Science Advances...We examined the long-term health damages from breathing wildfire smoke. The results, from over a decade, suggest that in years with lots of fire activities – 2017 & 2018, for example – wildfire smoke contributed to more than 10,000 deaths annually in California. For comparison, about 4,000 people die in California from traffic accidents each year." That's because "during big wildfire years, California's level of fine particlate matter can almost double...here's how you can stay safe: 🏠 Stay indoors on heavy smoke days 😷 Wear a protective mask 🏃♂️➡️ Avoid exercising outdoors on smoky days 🗞️ Stay informed" - Yahoo News To dive deeper, read the full article at: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gKjTWZsx #wildfiresmoke #wildfiredeaths #Californiawildfires

"The Master Stewardship Agreement, established in September 2023 between Collins & the Fremont-Winema National Forest, is aimed at reforesting a large portion of public land devastated by the Cougar Peak Fire. Collins, having experienced significant forestland loss in wildfires in Oregon & California, has developed a deep understanding of post-fire recovery & reforestation. By partnering with the Fre-Win, they have extended their expertise to help restore the National Forest’s burned areas. The Agreement allows Collins an active role in managing the reforestation efforts on the Fre-Win, including clearing burned trees, managing vegetation & planting seedlings. Collins has begun with the overseeing of land-clearing efforts on 11,000 acres of the National Forest in preparation for replanting in the coming years." - Collins This partnership highlights how collaboration between private & public entities can enhance forest restoration & resilience to protect against increasing wildfire threats. Congrats on the anniversary & the amazing progress👏 #partnership #reforestation #cougarpeakfire
