FIRE MANAGEMENT: FIRE PLAYS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN SHAPING OUR FORESTS. WE FOLLOW NATURE'S MODEL AND USE FIRE WHERE IT IS NEEDED TO MAKE COMMUNITIES MORE FIRE-ADAPTED, RESTORE ECOSYSTEMS, ENCOURAGE THE NEXT GENERATION OF FOREST STEWARDS, AND REDUCE THE THREAT OF UNNATURALLY SEVERE WILDFIRE. THE FOREST STEWARDS GUILD IS DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING FIRE AS A NATURAL PROCESS IN FIRE-ADAPTED ECOSYSTEMS THROUGH OUR FIRE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. WE WORK ON INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS AND AT A LANDSCAPE SCALE, TO IMPROVE ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND INCREASE WILDFIRE RESILIENCE. FIRE MANAGEMENT PROJECTS INCLUDED THE ALL-HANDS ALL-LANDS BURN TEAM THAT ADDS CAPACITY TO EXISTING EFFORTS AND CAN SERVE AS A STAND-ALONE ORGANIZATION TO COMPLETE BURNS WITH INSURED AND QUALIFIED BURN BOSSES.
