Wildfire Risks & Mitigation Project

It is no surprise with the changes that we are witnessing and experiencing driven by climate change, that wildfire risks are becoming more of an issue across New York State.  Through some of our initial research and scoping work through our Panther Creek Project and identifying contributing factors, such as forestry management practices and Ash tree mortality due to the Emerald Ash Borer, we recognize the need for a more localized and comprehensive program to address these risks, and to create an expert and community driven action plan and approach to management and mitigation.

The work on this project will be compiled here for the community to learn, share and contribute to as this work progresses. 

Stay tuned for some upcoming events that we will be hosting as part of this ongoing initiative.
