Oregon Climate and Agriculture Network (OrCAN) wants to hear from you about the resilience needs of your farm and community!

You are invited to join us on Saturday, March 7th, at the Josephine County Fairgrounds in Grants Pass for a focus group on the resilience needs of farmers and ranchers in SW Oregon. 

Focus group participants will be compensated $100 for their time. Lunch will be provided and travel reimbursement is available. 

This listening session will inform the Plan for a Resilient Oregon (PRO), an initiative of the Governor’s Office to create a people-centered resilience strategy to help communities around Oregon adapt and thrive in the face of increasingly severe disasters. The Plan will inform the Governor’s next recommended budget, potentially determining which programs are funded by the State in 2027. 

Can you join us on March 7th at 2pm to tell the Governor’s Office what you need to build your farm’s resilience? 

Click here to RSVP by Thursday, March 5th

Date: March 7, 2026
