Please bring 10 - 20$ to help pay for materials and food (one or two meals will be provided). We strongly encourage the residents of Cascadia to attend and acquire these skill sets that are appropriate for mounting forest defense campaigns in the Cascadia bioregion. No one will be turned away to due to lack of funds. Directions will be given out a week or so before the event.
Because trainees will not be able to monitor their dogs while they are in the trees and for safety reasons, please DO NOT bring your dog.
