However, years of fire suppression has resulted in forests with unnaturally high fuel loads that increase the potential for large, catastrophic wildfires. An increasing number of individuals and communities are living within these fire-prone environments, the so-called woodland\/urban interface. In order for us to live more safely in these areas, homeowners and landowners alike can increase the survival of people and property by taking some preventative measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.cahnrs.wsu.edu\/article\/wildfire-awareness-forestry-scientists-share-lessons-to-understand-adapt-to-realities-of-fire\/\">Wildfire awareness: Forestry scientists share lessons to understand, adapt to realities of fire<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-row wsu-row--halves\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Landowners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fuel Reduction series<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.extension.wsu.edu\/conifer-pruning-basics-for-family-forest-landowners-2\">Conifer pruning basics for family forest landowners<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/managing-land\/fire\/mechanical-treatment\">Mechanical fuels reduction<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.oregonstate.edu\/catalog\/pub\/ec-1574-reducing-hazardous-fuels-woodland-property-disposing-woody-material\">Disposing of woody material<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helpful Websites<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blm.gov\/orwafire\">Washington &amp; Oregon Fire Management<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gacc.nifc.gov\/nwcc\/\">Current Northwest Fire Situation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Homeowners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uidaho.edu\/extension\/forestry\/topic\/fire\">Wildland fire resources<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.extension.wsu.edu\/fireresistant-plants-for-home-landscapes\">Fire resistant plants for home landscapes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.extension.wsu.edu\/reducing-fire-risk-on-your-forest-property\">Reducing fire risk on your forest property<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Local Assistance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;call: 1-800-323-burn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The WSU Forestry and Wildlife Extension program provides education and information about forest management to private forest landowners as well as the general public.
