Prescribed burns create healthier forests by “reducing fuel loads and creating a more defensible, more resilient space against wildfires but also reintroducing and remixing vital nutrients into the soil.”
State workers are preparing to set fire to more than 2,100 acres in central and eastern Washington as part of the state’s effort to mitigate wildfires.
Prescribed burns can also improve the health of older trees, support new and current wildlife habitats, and recycle soil nutrients back into the ground. “Prescribed fire is one of the most important tools we have to restore the health of our forests,” said Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz. “Prescribed fire is one of the most cost-effective ways for us to remove excess fuels and create defensible space for wildland firefighters as they fight to protect our homes and communities each summer.”
“These new agreements to work collaboratively and to share resources across boundaries not only strengthen the existing partnerships we have across Washington, but will enable us to forge new ones as we continue to invest in a prescribed fire around the state,” said Prescribed Fire Program Manager Jeff Dimke.
