Community Values & Wildfire Action Mapping - Nederland & Timberline Workshops

Save the Date!

Be a part of wildfire planning in your area.

Throughout September, The Boulder Watershed Collective will host four in-person mapping workshops. We hope to get your input around places and strategies that support Nederland and Timberline’s fire adapted and resilient communities and landscapes, and more holistically, how these strategies support other personal values you and others hold across the landscape and in your community. This input will be one of a few opportunities to inform priority actions as part of Nederland and Timberline’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan. Each workshop will start with introductions to the CWPP at 5:30pm, mapping input will start at 6:00pm, and we will end around 7:00pm. Feel free to attend as much or as little of this workshop as needed.

Register below and attend to be eligible to win $100, $50 or $25 at each workshop! After registration, we will be in touch one week before, and also one day before each workshop with more details.

If you have any additional questions or comments, please contact Kirin at kirin@boulderwatershedcollective.org. For updates and opportunities to get involved in this CWPP, visit: https://arcg.is/aq00q

Community Conversations - Wildfire Learning Network

Event Description

Do you want to learn about ways other people have engaged their neighbors in preparing for a wildfire? This 2-hour online discussion focused on creating a learning exchange between neighborhood leaders. We also had the honor of guest speakers Sarah McCaffrey and Alison Lerch discussing their years of expertise working with communities around wildfire perceptions and preparedness. This discussion was an opportunity to build a supportive network of engaged residents across multiple geographic locations from the City and County of Boulder, and other counties to share resources, discuss challenges/frustrations around neighborhood wildfire preparedness, and share innovative strategies with each other for long-term support. Additionally, this event provided support within each neighborhood/community unit to catalyze coordinated action and grow the learning network.

This event was hosted by The Boulder Watershed Collective and CU’s The Center for Sustainable Landscapes and Communities. We graciously thank our sponsors The Community Foundation - Boulder County.
