Community Wildfire Protection Planning (CWPP’s)

We lead the development and updating of CWPPs in alignment with federal and state standards, ensuring your community has a comprehensive, actionable plan to reduce wildfire risk. Our CWPPs integrate fuels management strategies, risk assessments, and stakeholder collaboration to position communities for increased safety and eligibility for funding.

Fuels Management Project Design & Implementation

From initial project scoping to field implementation, we design and support fuels reduction projects such as thinning, prescribed fire, mechanical treatments, and defensible space efforts. Our team ensures projects are strategically aligned with local priorities, environmental considerations, and community needs.

Fire Safe Council Development & Support

We assist with the formation and strengthening of Fire Safe Councils, providing organizational guidance, strategic planning, and support in building effective community partnerships. Our expertise helps councils move from vision to actionable projects.

Grant Writing & Program Support

Securing funding is critical to community wildfire resilience. We provide grant writing support and strategic guidance for local governments, Fire Safe Councils, and nonprofit organizations seeking wildfire mitigation funding. Our services include identifying opportunities, developing strong proposals, and aligning projects with funder priorities.
