Wildfire
Fire is a constant challenge every summer. NACD, in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Department of Interior, recently produced three sample press releases for distribution to local media. The press releases are aimed to help districts educate landowners on fire-preserving methods. Be sure to use these materials in your public education efforts.
