GRoW Supports Firefighting Efforts in Australia during Wildfire Emergency

With the new year bringing a devastating wildfire season to Australia, we have 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 percent of fire protection in New South Wales and the Jervis Bay Territory. The efforts of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service are crucial during a fire season that has burned millions of acres of land, forced mass evacuations, and threatened countless species of animals and plants found only in Australia.
