Our restoration efforts focus on:
Strategic thinning and prescribed burns to reduce wildfire risk and restore natural fire cycles.
Improving forest structure, wildlife habitat, and watershed function through science-based management.
Reducing catastrophic fire risk through strategic fuel treatments and prescribed burning.
Protecting and enhancing water quality and supply for downstream communities.
Creating diverse habitats that support native wildlife species and biodiversity.
