WHAT WE DO
We help to clear overgrown vegetation to keep travel routes and neighborhoods safe.
We remove hazardous brush and ladder fuels to slow or stop advancing fires.
Property owners and local crews working together for a safer Lake County.
WHY IT MATTERS
Creating defensible space along roadsides protects homes, neighborhoods, and evacuation routes from fast-moving wildfires. By granting temporary access, you help reduce hazardous vegetation and strengthen the entire community’s fire resilience.
Lower Wildfire Risk: Removing dense brush and ladder fuels slows or stops advancing flames.
Safer Evacuation Routes: Cleared roads stay open for residents and emergency vehicles during an emergency.
Healthier Landscapes: Selective thinning encourages native plants and healthier forests.
No Cost to Owners: All work is funded through local fire-prevention programs.
