Approach
Increase resilience of vegetation types at high elevations
Tactics
- Increase heterogeneity through prescribed fire
- Use fire behavior and spatial modeling to identify high-priority areas to reduce or maintain fuels
- Use silvicultural practices (e.g.
- prescribed fire
- thinning
- daylighting/radial thinning) to reduce fire hazard
