WGA Goal - Restore Fire Adapted Ecosystems


Actions to meet goal

  • Perform burned area stabilization and rehabilitation work in emergency areas
  • Restore burned areas and repair and improve lands unlikely to recover
  • Place priority on at risk watersheds that have been damaged by wildland fire
  • Establish native seeds and other plant material
  • Publicize and train in the use of minimum impact suppression activities
  • Promote research of effective restoration practices
  • Research interactions between fire, land management and other disturbances

In addition to completing the buffer, the town wants to maintain the surrounding forests health. Red River is trying to get a sense of how best to maintain the forest once all the thinning is completed.
