The Queer Forestry and Fire Program is a six-week training course in the basic skills, practices and implementation of hand tool focused forestry. This community-oriented opportunity will allow participants from all backgrounds and experience levels to cultivate a greater understanding and skillset in basic forestry practices, tree and other plant identification, proper hand tool use and maintenance, forest thinning protocols, knowledge of grassland ecosystems and their importance, proper burn pile formation and implementation, and prescribed burn unit preparation. The program is designed to create a safe space for queer identifying persons to come together in a safe space for a project to restore a forest/grassland ecosystem and return good fire to the land.
