GRoW Supports Firefighting Efforts in Australia Wildfire Emergency

As the start of 2020 brings a devastating wildfire season for Australia, GRoW @ Annenberg has joined fellow Annenberg Foundation trustees in the fight to protect the country's people, wildlife, and land. GRoW is underwriting support for the New South Wales Rural Fire Service, the world's largest volunteer fire service.

This organization is responsible for 95% of fire protection in New South Wales and the Jervis Bay Territory. Their efforts are crucial during a fire season which has burned millions of acres of land, forced mass evacuations, and threatened countless species of animals and plants found only in Australia.
