foresters, scientists and industry experts. The various learning stations had first-hand learning experiences about soil, cultivation, food cycles, animals, nutrition, natural resources, land stewardship and how to make better informed decisions as consumers and community members. The Supervisors enjoyed their time touring around the different booths and presentations for the children, and learning a few things themselves. Supervisor Turnboo even devoted time to interacting with the animals being shown. Everyone was very friendly and the Board of Supervisors was grateful for the invitation to attend the annual Farm Day event.

Team Rubicon

Team Rubiconis a veteran-led, humanitarian organization that helps communities before, during and after natural disasters. Currently, Team Rubicon has been assisting residents in Grizzly Flats to recover their properties after the Caldor Fire. The work being conducted is helping Grizzly Flats residents remove hazardous trees and masticate vegetation. Team Rubicon has been focusing on creating defensible space for residents who have homes and clearing areas for residents who intend to rebuild their homes.

Team Rubicon volunteers come from all over the United States and from different industries. Team Rubicon volunteers are composed of outdoorsy people who enjoy learning more about forest management and working with their hands. They all have the goal of bringing the community of Grizzly Flats back home one step at a time. Team Rubicon efforts are planned to assist residents until May 21, 2024.

"These people have been facing the impact of the Caldor Fire since 2021. That's a long time. There [are] still many people out of their homes,"
- Corde Wagner, Team Rubicon deputy operation sections chief.
