Nathan Garris, the partnership's upland program lead, told the board the CWPP update was funded in part through a Community Wildfire Defense Grant and that outreach included dividing the Applegate into five neighborhoods and holding three meetings in each. "We've got 15 public meetings in total... We had 3 stakeholder meetings, and we also put together a public survey that was available in paper form and online QR codes," Garris said.
