Lin is our Firewise assistant and heads up the only Firewise project in the UK, working with communities to help reduce their risk from wildfire.
From 11 to 14 November, she was attending the International Wildfire Conference in Aberdeen, where alongside colleagues from America and the Netherlands, she presented a paper on ‘Resilience in a Changing World’, highlighting wildfire resilience for property protection in the UK.
The conference had representatives from the many areas of the wildfire world, researchers, practitioners and firefighters, and it was good hear what is happening internationally and closer to home.
