Facing the Fire: Preparing, Responding, and Recovering Fire Resiliency Workshop, March 7

The Working Lands Collaborative and the workshop series was developed for and by the people and organizations that work with the lands in the Sheridan Region.

Sheridan County Conservation District Executive Director Carrie Rogaczewski and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service District Conservationist Andrew Cassiday made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to discuss the Working Lands Collaborative 2025 workshop series. 

The wildfire season of 2024 led many landowners and stakeholders to seek information on the impacts of wildfires on working lands and the producers that manage those landscapes.

Cassiday said the event date is quickly approaching. The workshop will be Friday, March 7, in the classroom at the Watt Building in Sheridan. 

The 2025 workshop will provide information on building resilience in the operation (through planning) and the landscape (through management), understanding how agencies and emergency personnel approach a fire, and how rebuilding can be an opportunity, Rogaczewski said. Speakers will also touch on insurance and financial considerations.

The workshop’s field day is planned for a tentative date in June and will require a separate registration once that date is announced.
