NACD is working with the California, Idaho, and New Mexico state associations to conduct three forest health and wildfire listening sessions to help conservation districts share lessons learned and partnering ideas. Districts can discuss barriers and opportunities in working with state and federal agencies across jurisdictional boundaries to obtain healthy forests and watersheds. Districts can share their experience in working with private landowners and state and federal partners in pre-fire and post-fire mitigation and rehabilitation projects.

The California session will be held January 13, 2016 in Davis, CA. The Idaho and New Mexico dates are yet to be determined but the Idaho session is tentatively planned for March 1, 2016 in Boise, ID. The New Mexico event location and date will be determined soon so other western state conservation districts who want to participate will have options based on their schedules.
