The SLRD is currently updating and expanding its mitigation program to soon include free FireSmart assessments for Farms and Ranches along with other activities and incentives.
In the meantime, producers of the SLRD can request an assessment by contacting an approved assessor featured on the list available here: List of FireSmart Professionals for Farm & Ranch FireSmart Assessments.
Applications and eligibility requirements for funding for Farm & Ranch Assessments are available via the Extreme Weather Preparedness for Agriculture Program (EWP).
Producers who wish to participate in the SLRD's residential FireSmart program can receive a free FireSmart assessment homes located on an agricultural property.

In May 2024, the SLRD hosted two Wildfire Preparedness Workshops providing tools and resources to aid in wildfire preparation for agricultural properties in the region.
