Wildfire Mitigation
Wildfire will move through a colony of aspen at 1/10 the velocity of a stand of conifers, often extinguishing itself
In the west, forest fires are becoming the largest threat to the ecosystem. They are affecting our property, water supplies and our air quality in devastating and catastrophic ways. Our efforts at suppressing fire over the last century have left us at fires mercy. Utah had fewer than 100 wildfires reported in 1960, totaling 50,000 acres burned. In 2020, that number was 1500 fires and 316,000 acres.
While public land managers are more reluctant to attempt controlled burns due to the risk, it isn’t even an option for the private land owner. The 106 Reforestation Targeted Treatment Process changes all of that by using a “no fire” way to achieve the same goal. The results and healthy land conditions are measured in months instead of years.
