Here's us in action! The Pacific Fire Exchange led a wildfire mitigation workshop for Maʻo Farms Feʻe Interns, exploring wildfire risks, protective resources, and strategies to reduce fire potential on Oʻahu farms.

Active, intentional agriculture IS wildfire mitigation! Interns put their learning into practice by identifying farm assets, vulnerabilities, and ways to reduce wildfire risk. We're excited to connect with and learn from the next generation of land stewards!

A changing climate means a changing wildfire risk. As temperatures rise and weather patterns become more extreme, periods of intense rainfall can fuel vegetation growth. When that vegetation dries out, it becomes fuel for wildfire, helping fires spread faster.

Understanding these trends can help us better assess fire risk and improve climate models, so we can plan and prepare for the future.
