Forest & Wildfire

Wildfire Resilience & Recovery

Forests and woodlands are under pressure from wildfires, pests and pathogens, and climate change. The district connects with land managers and private landowners to aid in forest health management and help communities mitigate risk by preparing for wildfire and recovering from devastating post-fire impacts.

Programs and Services

​Our conservation planners can assist with planning, implementation, and funding for habitat improvements such as:

  • Pre-construction site visits to evaluate wildfire risk 

  • Wildfire risk assessments for existing homes 

  • Community assessments for neighborhoods interested in
    Firewise USA certification 

  • Resources for hardening homes against wildfire 

  • Post-fire site visit and recovery recommendations
