“The landscapes of the Inland Northwest were born of volcanic eruptions, molded by glaciers and floods, and refined by wildfires.”

Y.C. Barkley, 2011

Fires are nothing new to the northwest, but the extent and severity of them in the last half century are. Multiple centuries of intentional and unintentional exclusion of indigenous fires, just over a century of fire suppression and intensive timber harvests, along with a warming climate have shaped how we experience fire today.

Luckily forest health treatments also can help reduce fire severity, helping your forest and property withstand a wildfire and benefit from it as well. It can be hard to know where to start, what you need to do to keep your trees healthy, or where to prioritize your time and money, but Cascadia provides technical assistance to forest owners, ranging from a small backyard forest to hundreds of acres. We can also help you find financial assistance that is appropriate for your goals and objectives, whether that is through us or one of our partners. Feel free to reach out to us today.
