Community Event
Building a wildfire-resilient future together.
As the fire season approaches, it is essential that we activate together local preparedness and response mechanisms to prevent widespread destruction and the loss of property and ecosystems. To build resilience, it is crucial to bridge the gap between public efforts and direct community participation and action.
It is with this in mind that we invite you to the workshop on Building Community Resilience Against Wildfires, which will take place on 24 June 2026 at Quinta Vale da Lama in Odiáxere.
Topics and value to the attendees
Fire ecology and behavior in the Barlavento region
We will analyze the specific risk factors in our region and understand how fire behaves within the landscape.
Territorial resilience design
We will map the strategies already in place in Barlavento and implement concrete actions for all phases of risk (prevention, response and post-fire recovery).
Tools and strategies for wildfire preparedness.
This will be a participatory event to (1) learn about the ecology of fire and (2) understand which practical and actionable strategies are suitable for our region, capable of safeguarding the safety and resilience of both our communities and landscapes.
This one-day workshop will also serve to lay the groundwork and prepare participants for the practical and field-based training course (focused on landscape regeneration and hydration interventions) taking place in November.
