This curriculum package helps natural-resource professionals train landowners on best practices in resource management. Topics include forests, fire, streams, wildlife, soil, pastures, water systems and economics — all issues facing landowners in many parts of the West.
Typically, wildfire risk reduction efforts must occur at a scale beyond that of individual parcels. This requires multiple landowners and managers within an area to coordinate and ensure their treatments are strategic. Learn how Lone Pine Rangeland Fire Protection Association (LPRFPA) partnered with state and federal agencies to create and implement a Fire Prevention & Management Plan. The plan provided a strategy for coordinating funding and treatments across federal, state, and private lands within a ~60,000-acre area to reduce wildfire risk and improve wildland fire response.
The Extension Fire Program uses education, outreach, and boundary spanning partnerships to foster the resiliency of communities and landscapes to wildfire at scale. Learn more!
