MIDDLETOWN, Calif. — A collaborative of fire practitioners will be working together to conduct an ecocultural broadcast burn in the Middletown area, on the lands of Middletown Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, on Tuesday, Oct. 22.
The burn date is subject to change due to weather or other conditions. Please check the Watch Duty app (app.watchduty.org) and the Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance, or TERA, Facebook and Instagram (@tribalecorestoration) for the most current information regarding this burn.
This burn is taking place as part of the Lake EcoCultural Cal-TREX, a prescribed and cultural fire training exchange led by the Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance in partnership with agencies, tribes and community organizations including Middletown Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, Cal Fire and the Watershed Research and Training Center.
The goals of the burn include to support cultural revitalization, improve the health of oak woodlands and grasslands, enhance wildlife habitat, provide capacity building and training around beneficial burning, and reduce fuel loading and increase wildfire resilience.
This is a fully permitted burn and will be led by a coalition of TERA and other Lake EcoCultural Cal-TREX partners. If the conditions, such as weather or vegetation are not conducive for burning, the burn will be rescheduled.
Ignitions are anticipated to begin mid-morning with firing operations concluding by late afternoon. People traveling near the burn area may see smoke on the day of the burn. In the event the public smells smoke, they are urged to take precautions and use common sense to reduce any harmful health effects by limiting outdoor activities.
Local residents are advised to close windows and doors to prevent smoke from entering their homes. There is potential for some residual smoke overnight and into the following days. The burn area will continue to be patrolled until all heat has been extinguished.

Rachael Long will be guest presenter at Redbud Audubon’s Oct. 17, 2024, meeting. Courtesy photo. LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Redbud Audubon Society is pleased to announce that Rachael Long will be guest presenter at its Thursday Oct. 17, monthly program meeting.
Long’s topic is, “The Benefits of Bats: Nature’s Pest Control.”
The program starts at 7 p.m. and registration can be achieved by going to www.redbudaudubon.org and clicking on the registration link on the home page. The Zoom link for the program will be sent the day of the program.
Rachael Long served as the UC Cooperative Extension IPM Advisor in the Sacramento Valley for 32 years. Her work led to the publication of numerous manuals, including those on dry beans, alfalfa, sunflower, onion seed, and songbirds, bats, and owls.
She also worked on ways to protect surface water quality from pesticides, leading to the adoption of various practices that improve water quality, including cover crops and vegetated filter strips.
Long pioneered work on hedgerows, showcasing that flowering plants on field edges attract bees and natural enemies; these in turn move into adjacent crops for better pollination and pest control services, leading to enhanced yields and reduced pesticide use.
Her work on bats revealed that bats control pests, with their voracious appetite for insects, leading growers to install bat houses on their farms to attract colonies of bats. This is a win for bats and farmers in that bats get a home and farmers get free pest control services.
Long also writes children’s chapter books. Her Black Rock Desert Trilogy focuses on bats and how good they are through a high adventure story.
Her newest book, “See You Later, Alligator” is a new series that focuses on wildlife and wildlife conservation.
She is a graduate of UC Berkeley and UC Davis, lives on a farm near Woodland, and was the recipient of the UC Sustainable Ag leadership award in 2018 and the Agronomy Society of America award in 2024. She currently has emeritus status with the University of California.
