Watch the video documenting The Future Build Project, a community-driven project to provide those who lost their homes in the 2020 wildfire with a shed as a base from which to start rebuilding.
In June 2021, Lane Education Service District shared this amazing short documentary film created by Lane County high school students. The piece tells the incredible story behind The Future Build project where students, volunteers, and agencies came together to bring hope to the survivors of the Holiday Farm Fire in the McKenzie River.
This awesome project was run out of the school in Blue River that spring and provided nearly 65 locals with sturdy and useful sheds while they recover from the wildfire. The local students who built these sheds also gained hands-on experience working alongside established construction companies as well as valuable CTE and Math credits.
Mentored by a local video producer, the student production team did a great job making this film telling the story of The Future Build project and the people behind it. Special thanks go out to Rand & Marisa for sharing their story and their joy at receiving a shed that will hopefully be an important step towards rebuilding their home. #McKenzieStrong
