Description

A Workshop for Cooperative Extension Educators and Community Leaders

This workshop will equip Cooperative Extension Service professionals and other community leaders with the tools needed to successfully face the challenges of living in wildfire-prone environments. National-level scientists and experts will help attendees think through all aspects and stages of fire – before, during, and after – in both urban and rural landscapes. Local Extension personnel will share their challenges and success stories. Regional leaders in preparing for wildfires will explain the new National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy and its goal of developing fire-adapted communities.
