Science Pub - Fire Science: Oak versus Fir Habitats

Learn "Fire Science: Oak versus Fir Habitats" at our May Science Pub, presented Alex Rahmlow, Fire Planning Coordinator with the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). This presentation will explain how to manipulate fire behavior on your property and community by planning and treating hazardous fuels, and the pros and cons of oak and fir on the landscape. The CFWWC hosts a family-friendly monthly public meeting series called the Coast Fork Science Pub on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 5-7pm at the Axe & Fiddle, 657 E. Main Street in Cottage Grove. The event begins with informal socializing, trivia, and updates about the watershed and watershed council during the first hour. The Science Pub presentation begins at 6pm. CFWWC receives 10% of all sales from the evening between 5-7:30pm. The event is free to the public, with a $5 donation suggested.
