Title: Flames for the Future: Firewise Living and Conservation in Florida
Description:
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is the world’s leading nonprofit organization working on fire issues. TNC’s approach has evolved from one that was primarily focused on managing preserves for biodiversity to one that includes developing policy and funding, supporting the leadership of Indigenous fire practitioners, growing skilled fire management workforces and helping communities develop ways to live more safely with wildfire. Florida’s landscapes are full of plants that thrive with fire—come learn why that’s a good thing! Explore how fire-adapted species keep ecosystems healthy and what simple steps you can take to make your home Firewise. Learn how local actions contribute to greater conservation efforts.
Speaker: Amanda Thompson
