Trinity Integrated Fire Management Partnership
Trinity County
The Trinity Integrated Fire Management Partnership is a cross-boundary, multi-partner effort to reduce hazardous fuels and improve forest health and wildlife habitat by building the local capacity to plan and implement cooperative prescribed burning in northern California.
Through a combination of local innovation, shared risk-taking, and a lot of help from friends and colleagues we’ve met through The Nature Conservancy’s Fire Learning Network, we have:
Leveraged funding and workforces across organizations and state, federal and local agencies; and
Implemented burning across land ownerships, including on federal, private-industrial and small family forestlands.
And, all of this work has happened in and around our highest value resources and assets: our communities. The Rural Voices for Conservation Coalition recently unpacked and explored these successes in their publication, Trinity Integrated Fire Management Partnership; check it out to understand how we’ve accomplished all-lands work in our area.
