Columbia College Foundation hosts lecture on outlook for Rim Fire recovery

Columbia, CA...The public is invited to learn about cooperative restoration efforts underway one year after the devastating Rim Fire on Thursday, October 16, when the Columbia College Foundation hosts the next installment of its community lecture series. “Looking Forward: Rim Fire Recovery,” a two-hour evening program at the Sonora High School Auditorium, will be moderated by Columbia College Natural Resources professor Dr. Tom Hofstra, and features leading experts from the timber, ranching, environmental groups and public agencies for wildlife and land management....

Leading the panel discussion will be Yosemite-Stanislaus Collaborative Co-Chairs, Mike Albrecht of Sierra Resource Management and John Buckley of the Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center.

The program is free. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the program will run from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

In addition to Albrecht and Buckley, confirmed speakers include:

· Nathan Graveline, California Department of Fish and Wildlife

· Mary Moore , USFS hydrologist and BAER (Burned Area Emergency Response) Team specialist

· Matt McNicol, USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, rangeland specialist

· Tim Tate, Sierra Pacific Industries

Dr. Tom Hofstra, Columbia College Natural Resources Professor, will moderate the panel.

Speakers will focus on the Rim Fire’s ongoing impacts and the efforts underway to find common ground and compromises, said CCF President Stephanie Suess.

“The Rim Fire was the third largest forest fire in California’s history and our community has so much at stake as we move forward,” Suess said. “We’ve heard a lot about policy setting and political posturing. This is an opportunity for the community to hear from folks who are playing an active, on the ground role in the recovery efforts and to learn more about what they see as being the key issues in the years to come. The Foundation is pleased to bring these leaders together for an educational evening.”
