Wildfire Smoke - Information & Resources for Growers👉https://bit.ly/smoke-resources👈

BCGA is working with industry partners and government on science-based resources that assess risk and support decision-making.

The most important message is that wildfire smoke does not automatically mean smoke taint.

We know this is a stressful time for many growers, and we encourage you to contact us at [email protected] if you are facing challenges from wildfire impacts or have questions or concerns.

For w**eries, we encourage clear, timely communication with growers and appropriate documentation when fruit is not accepted.
