Post-Fire Resources

Below we have compiled some resources we think might be helpful for landowners/managers who are looking to manage forested lands after fire.
We recognize this can be a daunting process and express our sympathy to those who have been impacted by wildland fires. We are encouraged by your interest in stewarding forests after fire and hope you find these resources valuable. If you have questions that these resources do not answer, please feel free to reach out.
