THE HEALTHY FOREST ALLIANCE IS DEDICATED TO PROTECTING PEOPLE, PROPERTY, AND ECOSYSTEMS BY ADVANCING THE SAFE AND STRATEGIC USE OF PRESCRIBED FIRE, SUPPORTING DEFENSIBLE SPACE AROUND HOMES, AND BUILDING WILDFIRE-ADAPTED COMMUNITIES THROUGH EDUCATION AND COLLABORATION.
this is our mission
PRESCRIBED FIRE & FUELS REDUCTION
We promote the safe use of prescribed fire to reduce hazardous fuels, restore healthy ecosystems, and lower wildfire intensity. By supporting training, collaboration, and community burns, we help normalize prescribed fire as a vital, science-based tool for proactive wildfire prevention and landscape resilience.
DEFENSIBLE SPACE FOR PROPERTY OWNERS
We empower homeowners to create and maintain defensible space through education, tools, and hands-on support. Proper vegetation management and home hardening reduce ignition risk, improve firefighter access, and increase safety for families and neighborhoods in fire-prone areas.
COMMUNITY WILDFIRE EDUCATION & COLLABORATION
We engage communities through education, outreach, and partnerships that foster fire awareness and collective responsibility. By supporting local action and fire-adapted planning, we help residents prepare for wildfire and build resilience together.
