As we head into spring, there’s no better time to evaluate your on-farm risk, get your evacuation plan made and practice your response plan ahead of fire season! Check out this recording of our live workshop from May 18th, featuring guest farmer educators Austin and Melissa Lely of BeeWell Farms.
This workshop also walks you through how to use the Farming through Wildfire Season Workbook, which you can download for free here:
