Addressing Forestry and Fire Workforce Needs


Do you currently work in forestry, land, or fire management? Or perhaps you would like to? Either way, we want to hear from you!

This survey is a follow up to the Wonder Labs' Living with Fire Design Challenge action research projects undertaken by the 2022-2023 cohort.

The survey aims to further understand the forestry and fire workforce's career, training, networking, and mentoring needs.
