Approach

Increase and maintain moderate fire danger conditions on the landscape

Tactics

  • Increase education to public on the role of fire on the landscape (fire today could save your home tomorrow)
  • Incorporate managed fire for resource objectives in forest plan revisions
  • Limit potential for invasive establishment that may increase with increased fire; use pre- and post-fire treatments
  • weed control
  • and monitoring.
