FireSmart Agricultural Program

The goal of the FireSmart Agriculture Program is to promote wildfire awareness, conduct FireSmart assessments and, where eligible, mitigate ranches and farms that are in a high wildfire interface area.

We offer FireSmart hazard assessments to those who operate Farms and Ranch lands within the Cowichan Valley including CVRD, Municipality of North Cowichan and Cowichan Tribes residents. 

How to Apply

You can apply to have your Farm/ ranch assessed by filling in the online application form below or by connecting directly via email to your local firesmart coordinators at fire.smart@cvrd.bc.ca.

 Deadline: If you are interested in having your farm or ranch assessed, please apply by June 2023.
