Hi Fireshed Members,
Fall provides an important time to reflect. After a busy spring and summer, let’s take some time to acknowledge what worked and what didn’t in our wildfire preparedness and community resilience activities. This is how we build community resilience and adapt through time. Please share your stories with us!
This week’s Wildfire Wednesday features:
