Determined to go ahead with our Wildfire Preparedness Day despite COVID-19, we carefully prepared! Our theme and lure for our volunteers...PPE - Pizza, Pop and Eclairs!
We encouraged family groups to sign up, it was an RSVP required event so that we could plan for distancing and social bubbles. With 24 volunteers, it was a smashing success and the results were incredible.
This year we focused on removing dead fall from along our island trails. The teams were fantastic and so much debris was removed and chipped. Everyone involved saw the huge benefit of increasing our safe zones in the forest in the event of a wildfire. We also saw how much work is left to be done and everyone is game for more work when restrictions ease off.
