Interested in using #WoodyBiomass (branches, bark, small trees, shrubs, sawdust, chips) for a variety of ag/gardening applications? Cindy Chen @ucanr seeks growers, ranchers, forest landowners & others to complete survey and help develop useful resources: https://t.co/Hksv2T5qLd

California is behind in clearing overgrown grasslands and scrublands, which have double the typical amount of material. "It reinforces how vulnerable ecosystems are in California—they’re just not ready for fire,” Prof. Scott Stephens told @juliejohnson. https://t.co/UF90N24ufl

[Yana Valachovic @ValachovicYana]

With smoke covering much of California it’s a good time to prepare for the unexpected.

[Susie Kocher @UCsierraforest]

So happy that this report came out and happy with the results we found. “It's hugely encouraging that we've gotten all these trees in the ground, but it's not the end of the process – it's just the beginning,”

[Berkeley Rausser College of Natural Resources @NatureAtCal]

Cooperative Extension professors @Dan_L_Sanchez and Paul Mayencourt are building on the 50-year history of the Forest Products Lab with their research on innovative, low-carbon wood products. Read more about the facility’s past and future: https://t.co/XbYCVIPIfT

We sadly note the passing of Ryan Tompkins, RPF #3108. He was well known for his work on landscape level #forest & fire restoration efforts in the northern Sierra Nevada. His work has greatly influenced many forestry practices & #foresters. He'll be greatly missed. ❤️❤️❤️

[Susie Kocher @UCsierraforest]

We are so excited to be offering the first California Tree School right here in Placerville on June 1st. For more information check out this short video featuring Katie Reidy, our @ucanr postfire program coordinator.
