About this Event
The Deschutes Land Trust conserves and cares for 18,742 acres of land in our region that protects plants and animals, provides a refuge that can help mitigate the impacts of climate change, and helps connect our community to the outdoors. In the summer of 2025, two wildfires, the Cram Fire and the Flat Fire, burned the majority of three of our community preserves. This presentation will describe how we prepared for the inevitable, the effects of the fires on these places, natural recovery and how we are managing these landscapes post-fire.
