Yale Forest Forum Leadership Lunch Seminar
Lessons Learned: White Mountain Apache Tribal Forestry and the Rodeo-Chediski Fire
Paul DeClay
White Mountain Apache Tribal Forest Manager
and Mary Stuever
Burn Area Emergency Rehabilitation Coordinator for the White Mountain Apache Tribe
Paul DeClay, White Mountain Apache Tribal Forest Manager and his assistant, Mary Stuever, will present some of the lessons learned in the aftermath of the 2002 Rodeo-Chediski Fire. The fire, which was just under a half million acres, burned across one third of the tribe's forests in east central Arizona. In addition to forcing the closure of one of the tribe's two sawmills, the impact of the fire on land and people is intense. DeClay and Stuever will address some of the efforts Tribal Forestry has been made to promote healing.
