The ANREP National Extension Wildland Fire Initiative or “NEWFI” is pleased to announce that NEWFI and its partners will be hosting a peer-learning exchange on wildland fire this spring 2025 in Wawona, CA, Yosemite’s Historic Town.

This peer-learning exchange was initially piloted in 2023 through NEWFI’s collaboration with NC State Extension Forestry, alongside other partners. It featured a multi-day, hands-on workshop that showcased effective strategies and activities for education and engagement in prescribed fire and fire science.

Back by popular demand, NEWFI along with the University of California’s Agriculture and Natural Resources Fire Network and the California Fire Science Consortium will host another peer-learning workshop on prescribed fire, cultural burning, home hardening, defensible space, and post-fire topics.
