In collaboration with the City of Jacksonville - and thanks to a Community Wildfire Risk Reduction Grant from the Oregon State Fire Marshal - our teams created substantial fuel breaks along the eastern ridge of Forest Park to mitigate wildfire risk. The community-wide impact is evident along popular trails and shows the importance of these initiatives in safeguarding public spaces.
