Presentation Abstract

Cultural and Prescribed Burns are an effective tool to reduce fire risk, improve forest health, and create training opportunities and inter-agency coordination. I could not be more proud of the relationships we have built and the collaboration we are seeing with our partners in Wildfire Risk Reduction. Together we are making our communities safer one step at a time.
