    Description
    In this course, students will expand upon the application of ecological principles of land stewardship, restoration, and wildfire risk reduction towards creation of healthier, more resilient forests and working lands. This course includes additional training and practice in the proper use and maintenance of appropriate tools including chainsaws, wood chippers, brush cutters, firing devices, and hand tools. Students in this course must perform sustained and physically demanding work across various terrain and weather conditions. This is the second course in a two-part series in wildfire resilient land stewardship, and students will practice and demonstrate skills at an intermediate level. The course will take place at SRJC's Shone Farm or another district-approved site. Specific site conditions, assignments, and skills emphasized may vary based on skill level and semester seasonality.
