SAVE THE DATE!

Join us for the Northern Blues Restoration Partnership’s 2026 Annual Meeting! This conference will explore how fire - both prescribed and beneficial or risk informed wildfire - shapes our landscapes and communities. We’ll highlight the full fire cycle: from proactive work like thinning and preparedness, to cultural burning, post-fire recovery, workforce development, and policy innovations that support fire-ready communities across all lands.

At this year’s meeting, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss our roles in prescribed fire and managed wildfire and strengthen relationships to get more fire on the landscape.

We encourage you to secure lodging ahead of time. We have a hotel block at Wildhorse Event Center and Oxford Suites for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. The room block will expire on Tuesday, February 10th so be sure to book in advance! For information on booking, please contact Elena Cussler at ecussler@wallowaresources.org.
