From Awareness to Action: Wildfire Resilience Workshop In Partnership with Big Sky Fire Department

Join SNO, in partnership with Big Sky Fire Department & Alpenscapes, for a solution-oriented workshop and cocktail hour on protecting property for the future in Big Sky’s changing climate.

With a low snow year this winter, wildfire and water usage are important to understand for this coming summer, especially. Many properties struggle to find coverage due to the rising risk of fires and the cost of insuring properties. This workshop will get you involved to learn mitigation strategies and how we are all part of a solution to a more resilient community.

A HUGE THANKS to Moonlight Community Foundation & BSRAD for making this possible.
