What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Oregon Department of Forestry announced a $10 million investment for landscape resiliency projects across Douglas County, Grant County, Jackson County, and Josephine counties. The grant funding will target more than 6,400 acres to reduce hazardous fuels and restore fire-adapted ecosystems. This initiative follows wildfires that burned more than 2 million acres across Oregon in 2026. The agency is also developing new diagnostic tools to assist landowners with adaptive management, a process involving Christine Buhl.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The state investment serves as a primary hub to reduce wildfire risk across public, private, and Tribal lands before fires begin. The funded projects involve reducing tree density in select areas and planting trees better adapted to changing environmental conditions. This work aims to reduce wildfire risk around communities and improve the long-term health of Oregon's forests and rangelands.
