Community Meetings

In your neighborhood
LET'S TALK

Benefits of Community Meetings

Get in-person information on the ways you can improve the likelihood your property will survive wildfire by attending a MSOW Community Meeting.  Community Meetings vary in topic, but each features tools and resources you can use on your own property, including information on how to set up an ODF Forester visit. Keep an eye on your mailbox to find out of there will be a community meeting in your neighborhood or give us a call to find out about the community meetings in your area by calling 541-776-7371 ext 213.  If there is no community meeting scheduled for your area, consider becoming a host!

Hosts

Community meetings are dependent on local landowner hosts.  My Southern Oregon Woodlands brings the experts, but as a member of your community, you understand your area’s needs so we work with hosts to set up each meeting.  As a community meeting host, you work with us and let us know what conversation your neighborhood wants to have about wildfire preparedness and woodland management.  We coordinate the presentation, planning and outreach.  Meetings may focus on evacuation planning, healthy forests, fuels reduction, Firewise Communities, or one of many other topics.

If you want to bring the conversation on wildfire and forests to your neighborhood, become a host for a Community Meeting with MSOW.  Contact us at info@mysouthernoregonwoodlands.org or 541-776-7371 ext 213.
