HWMO, through U.S. Forest Service (USFS) grant funding, is entering an exciting phase for our organization and its partners in Guam and Yap. On April 3-7, HWMO Executive Director, Elizabeth Pickett, collaborated with Guam Forestry and USFS professionals doing work on Yap to lead a half-day workshop on community-based wildfire ignition management. The workshop, entitled Wildfire Prevention and Mitigation Strategies and Opportunities for a Pacific Islands, was well-attended, signs of good things to come for our collaborative work in the Western Pacific.
