Meet FAC Net’s sister network: the Fire Learning Network
Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network
The Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network (FAC Net) is a social impact network that helps communities plan and strategize to live more safely with wildfire. The Watershed Center and The Nature Conservancy have partnered to steward this network of communities who share their approaches and innovations in fire adaptation across the US.
The FAC Net Members and their interdisciplinary, cross-agency connections are the heart of the network, facilitating trainings and sharing knowledge locally, regionally, and internationally. FAC Net has grown to include over 150 members since its founding in 2013. Members are working together to help communities take action before, during, and after wildfires.
FAC Net produces a weekly blog that features stories about fire adaptation from practitioners, researchers and leading thinkers in the sector. Subscribe here.
The Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network is supported by a cooperative agreement between The Nature Conservancy, USDA Forest Service and agencies of the Department of the Interior through a subaward to the Watershed Research and Training Center. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
“The challenge in our work is to nurture the next generation of great prescribed fire practitioners using a fine balance of inspiration, training, and regulation to get where we need to go.” - Lenya Quinn-Davidson, Director of the Northern California Prescribed Fire Council
