Landscape Recovery and Preparedness Open House - Zac O‘Donnell

About this episode

Zac O‘Donnell discusses the Landscape Recovery Open House and wildfire conditions in Western North Carolina following damage from Helene.

Damage to the streams, land, and trees, is a legacy that Helene has left in Western North Carolina. On Saturday, February 21 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, the Blue Ridge Resource Conservation & Development group is coordinating a group of agencies and organizations who are working to either repair that damage or reduce its effects in an Open House being held at the former Bowman Middle School in Bakersville, NC. Zac O‘Donnell with BRRC&D is our guest to discuss the Landscape Recovery Open House and wildfire conditions as we prepare to head into the second spring season after Helene.
