YFN Field Tour
YFN will host our first ever Field Tour! Join us at Kipchoge’s homestead to learn more about fuels reduction treatments and prescribed burning on private property, and the Hoyt-Purdon Fuels Reduction Project.
The Field Tour will be at 20682 New Rome Rd, Nevada City, CA 95959. This is approximately 15 minutes away from the SYRCL Office. If you would like to carpool, meet at the SYRCL Office at 12:45 pm. Please park at the designated parking, and we’ll walk together from there.
The walking tour will begin at 1:10. Please be on time as late arrivals will not be able to find us and participate.
– We’ll be walking on semi-developed trails with a few steep sections mostly in shade. Wear comfortable walking or hiking shoes. Trails are mostly free of poison oak but caution will still be warranted.
– The walk is approximately 2 miles, through a variety of treatment types, exposures and ecotones.
– Kipchoge may be doing a controlled burn on the day of the walk; if folks want to stay and participate in that after the walk they can reach out to him at kipchoge[at]gmail.com ahead of time.
-There is limited cellular service on the property, expect to be out of contact for the duration of the tour.
-The Field Tour will conclude at 3:00 pm.
If you are interested in the field tour please RSVP here by signing a waiver for the event.
