Enhancing Public Awareness and Smoke Management Outreach in California's El Dorado NF

The California Air Resources Board aims to increase public awareness of prescribed burning and smoke management through a targeted outreach protocol. This initiative involves developing a consistent message across air and land management agencies to minimize smoke impacts. The pilot project includes an "Open House" meeting to inform the public about planned fuel reduction projects, including prescribed burns and mechanical treatments. Participants include the US Forest Service and El Dorado County AQMD. For more information, please contact Jeff Lindberg at (916) 324-8622 or visit www.arb.ca.gov.
