Here is the news of the week for May 5:

  • Final reminder: tomorrow is Wildfire Preparedness Day!
  • Structure Survival: How can we better protect homes and other structures against wildfire?
  • Interesting new research on forest thinning that is a little dense, but has some interesting analysis on the efficacy of thinning and prescribed burns, and suggestions on how to reduce negative effects like the growth of invasive species.
  • Free pine seedlings still available from Bass Lake Ranger District.

Have a great weekend, everyone.
