Lomakatsi is excited to welcome another cohort to our Tribal Youth Ecological Forestry Training & Employment Program this week, funded by Oregon Conservation Corps (Oregon Youth Works).
This cohort brings together 12 tribal young adults (ages 18-26) from Klamath County who have dedicated the next 8 months to learning the ins-and-outs of ecological forest restoration. Led by Lomakatsi’s restoration forestry professionals and ecocultural restoration specialists, they’ll earn nationally recognized certifications and gain hands-on experience in ecological fuels mitigation, technical forestry, cultural monitoring, and prescribed fire through collaborative projects across tribal trust, private, and federal lands.
