Community building education and resources to support implementation of the rogue valley integrated community wildfire protection plan

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $1,465,295 Project Grant to Remake Talent, operating as the Firebrand Resiliency Collective, under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Community Wildfire Defense Grants program (CFDA 10.720). The grant, which runs from September 2024 to May 2029, supports the development and implementation of the Rogue Valley Integrated Community Wildfire Protection Plan. Key activities include community building, education, risk assessments, and landscape restoration efforts to enhance wildfire resilience in the Rogue Valley region of Oregon. Remake Talent has also engaged in collaborative sub-award work with partners like the Oregon Department of Housing & Community Services and Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation, focusing on research and models for social-ecological resilience and community recovery processes in fire-impacted areas across Northern California and Southern Oregon.
