On April 13, 2025, C4C hosted a free public Community Forum focused on wildfire preparedness in Sisters Country.
Produced in partnership with The Nugget newspaper, Rotary Club of Sisters, and Sisters Kiwanis, this event was the first in a two-part series examining one of our community's greatest threats. A key emphasis was on the many ways our community can act NOW – collectively and individually – to be better prepared for wildfire.
Ready to take action? Here are some ideas and resources from our Forum.
