Fire Adapted Communities Education (FACE) Courses
No one, including us, enjoys sitting through a dry class with a monotone speaker so that’s definitely not our style. With a goal of providing up-to-date and relevant information on best practices in the field of wildfire mitigation, our courses are both informative and entertaining.
We believe learning should be interesting and engaging while providing top-quality content—including case studies and examples throughout.
