CFRP is working alongside the Konkow Valley Band of Maidu Indians and California Open Lands as they bring this incredible offering to our Communities
Free camping will be offered at the campground, and meals will be provided by Chef Alex Zubia of Fresno-based My Homies Kitchen.
There are a limited number of spaces available. All ages are welcome to apply, with priority given to tribal communities.
This is a Konkow Valley Band of Maidu event with training by Cultural Fire Practitioners...
-
~ Matthew Williford (Konkow Valley Band of Maidu Indians, Tribal Chair,)
-
~ Danny Manning (Mountain Maidu) and
-
~ Ali Meders-Knight (Mechoopda, Executive Director of California Open Lands).
The training will emphasize cultural objectives and gathering in community on the ancestral lands of the Konkow Valley Band of Maidu Indians. This is a place-based training that will focus on invasives removal, Cultural Fire, revegetation, and working with species like tule, manzanita, deergrass, and cattail. Cultural Practitioners will also be sharing workshops on topics such as soaproot brush making, baby rattles, manzanita bark poison oak treatment, and acorn granaries.
We are accepting applications until February 23, 2026, after which applications will be reviewed and acceptances sent out by Feb. 26th, 2026. Open to all ages and abilities. Space is limited to 30 participants.
Do you have a special spot that is ready for a tree or two?
CFRP will be hosting a planting event and tree giveaway to commemorate Nov. 8th and provide resources to our communities for our continuing restoration efforts.
This is becoming somewhat of a tradition for us, and this year we are very excited to be able to open it up to any of the recovering burn scar area (Camp, Bear/North Complex, Park, etc).
So come get a tree! Or better yet, organize a "planting partner" group to plant a couple trees in your neighborhood or at a community site. We LOVE that!
For those of you who form a group, you'll get first choice of trees! We'll provide morning coffee, snacks, instructions, and compost.
You'll provide the location, labor and love.
Register for the giveaway OR sign a group up HERE!
