n 26–27 November 2026, the MedFireWise partners will come together in Edirne, Türkiye, for the project’s next meeting and field visit, hosted by the Edirne Forestry Enterprise (EOIM).

Taking place after the completion of the project’s first year, the meeting marks an important transition for MedFireWise: from the technical and preparatory work developed during the first phase towards the practical implementation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for wildfire risk reduction and management.

Partners from across the Mediterranean will review progress achieved so far and coordinate the next phase of activities, including the upcoming cross-country campaigns through which selected Nature-based Solutions will be put into practice in the project’s pilot areas.

The programme will also take discussions into the field, with a visit focusing on wildfire risk management at the interface between agricultural and forested areas. Partners will first visit Büyükgerdelli village, where they will meet with local residents and discuss the relationship between farming, forestry and wildfire occurrence.

The field visit will then continue to the Terkos area, where discussions will focus on wildfire risk, afforestation and ecosystem services, providing an opportunity to connect the project’s technical work with local landscape management challenges and practices.

The meeting will be hosted at the Edirne Forestry Enterprise (EOIM), bringing partners together to align the next steps as MedFireWise moves into the implementation phase of its activities in Türkiye and across the Mediterranean.
