South Slough Reserve Summer Camp! SOFEE provides train-the-facilitator workshops. As a result of SOFEE workshops, Oregon Department of Public Lands has taught wildland fire science education at their South Slough Summer Science Camps. “Students were able to identify and explain the benefits of thinning, woody debris removal, and fire breaks. As we hiked around the reserve on watershed hikes we also talked about the forest health from a fire risk perspective. I really think the kids enjoyed it and made some great evaluations and recommendations,” said Eric Dean (Education Program Specialist)
