Green Oregon Alliance continued to expand its public education efforts, reaching hundreds of thousands of people in Oregon and across the United States through digital media, educational films, online communications, presentations, and partnerships. The organization worked closely with leading scientists, fire professionals, emergency managers, insurers, community leaders, and policymakers to translate the latest research on wildfire, forests, climate, carbon, biodiversity, and community resilience into practical information for the public. During the year, Green Oregon Alliance produced and supported educational media, public outreach campaigns, and communications focused on reducing wildfire losses, increasing home and community preparedness, improving understanding of wildfire science, and promoting evidence-based approaches to living safely with fire. The organization also provided technical information and scientific analysis to journalists, public officials, nonprofit organizations, and other decision-makers to improve public understanding of wildfire hazards, forest management, disaster resilience, and climate adaptation. Through these efforts, Green Oregon Alliance continued to advance informed public dialogue and science-based decision-making on issues affecting forests, communities, and the environment.
