The Wildfire Resilience Program (WRP) was piloted with instruction by Annie Madden, Asa Voight, and Anthony Blondin; Thea Carlson, Alison Pollack, and Bill Basquin came on board as instructors in subsequent years. The program operates out of the Shone Farm campus of the Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) and offers paid internships, college credit, and a Wildfire Resilience certificate in the Natural Resource Managment program at SRJC.
We have so far trained ten cohorts of land stewards. Our next cohort convenes in August 2025 for the Fall 2025 semester via NRM 145A Stewardship Practices for Wildfire Resilience. Send an email to get on our mailing list: epacopac@santarosa.edu
