Virtual Wildfire Workshop Survey

While we like to have fun here at IJNR, we also take our mission very seriously. Because of this, we like to enlist our alumni to help make sure that our programs are the very best they can be. If there was a portion of this workshop that you either really loved or found to be a waste of time, please tell us! Your thoughtful feedback will help ensure that IJNR's programming continues to be relevant and useful to journalists. Oh, and our funders require this kind of reporting - so it's pretty darn important. Thank you for your time and effort!
