The Cultural Steward, He-Lo Ramirez, of the Chico State Ecological Reserves (BCCER) wishes to measure Mechoopda community interest in becoming Wildland Firefighter Certified aka getting your "red card", interest in participating on burns at the BCCER, interest in learning more about wildfires, and/or observing burns on the BCCER. In case you do not know the BCCER is a nature reserve (similar to Table Mountain), encompassing about 4,000 acres of Big Chico Creek Canyon between Upper Bidwell Park and Forest Ranch and includes about another 4,000 acres of newly acquired lands adjacent to the current property. If you have questions you can reach He-Lo Ramirez, Cultural Steward of the BCCER, at the following email hramirez19@csuchico.edu (please include a subject title and name in email).

Active participants on state/federal fires need to be wildland firefighter certified ("Red Card"). If provided for free, would you be interested in getting your "Red Card" and becoming a certified Type-2 Wildland Firefighter. Understand this would entail attending a 4 Day in-person class on Fire Science at the BCCER and a Pack Test in which you would need to hike 3 miles in under 45 minutes while carrying 45 pounds of weight on your back. *

Yes

Yes, but I would only like to do the Fire Science education portion and not the "Pack Test".

No, but I want to watch a prescribed fire on the BCCER from a distance

I can commit to completing "red card" wildland firefighter training and "pack test" in October 2021. Sat/Sun October 2nd & 3rd. Sat/Sun October 9th & 10th. Know that this will be an annual training and more future opportunities will become available if you are unable to commit to this years Fall training sequence. *

Yes

No, but I wish to attend the next available training sequence in order to get my "Red Card"

No, and I do not wish to get my "red card" to be a certified wildland firefighter

I am interested in an event led or co-led by a Native cultural practitioner such as Don Hankins (Miwok Pyrogeography Chico State Professor) or some other local Native cultural practitioner in an informal setting. This event would inform people on fire science, native knowledge, may involve a "cultural burn", and would not require a "Red Card". *

Yes

I do not know how exactly I would like to participate, but I am interested in some capacity.
