In the Green

There is no single definition of what it means to proactively manage landscapes with wildfire resilience in mind. This topic page focuses on science about managing vegetation across larger landscapes before wildfires such that it is ready to receive fire with reduced fire severity, mortality, and loss to important values. This includes assessing fire hazards and values at risk, prioritization of management actions, managing fuels at scale, restoring fire as a natural process, social and policy dimensions, and connecting pre-fire and fire response activities.
