Applications for this WTREX will be accepted through November 15.
Organizers invite participants of all genders, from any background, discipline and origin, to join in the first European WTREX (Women’s Traditional Fire Training
Exchange), taking place in Portugal, February 1-10, 2024.
This WTREX aims to explore the growing role of women in fire management, while providing a hands-on training experience for practitioners to learn about fire as a
natural ecological process and how to use it as a tool to manage forest fuels and wildfire risk in the landscape. The event will be organized under an Incident Command System structure, while sharing experiences and knowledge with local and international peers.
