The next Forest Protection Forum is May 19, 2025 at 4PM PST. Rick Halsey will present "Chaparral at the Crossroads - How the re-definition of Nature as the enemy threatens our communities and public health."

After decades of effort, Californians viewed Nature through an eco-centric lens. The question became, how do we live with Nature rather than control it? Since the 2017 wildfires in northern California, the anthropocentric view of Nature has returned - Nature is to serve us, and only us. Join the discussion about chaparral, the meaning of Nature, and how societal stupidity has become such a powerful phenomenon.
