How We Aim to Help

First and foremost education is key. We need to start by teaching local governments and landowners how a controlled burn can be done safely and effectively in order to prevent or diminish catastrophe down the road.
Promote Awareness
Educating and collaborating about the importance of controlled burns.
Professional Consults
Public and private sector consults, grant writing, and project management.
Landscape Management
Landscape restoration, conservation, and risk reduction to ecosystem health.
Job Development
Wildland chainsaw, basic fire behavior, and incident command operations.
Terra Fuego Resource Foundation, new growth after fire

Terra Fuego Mission

Terra Fuego Resource Foundation advocates the creation and maintenance of healthy forests, grasslands and open space through accepted land management practices, including prescribed burning, mechanical manipulation of fuels and control and eradication of invasive species.

Understanding Prescribed Fire

A prescribed fire, or controlled burn, is a method of forest management used to clear an area of fuel (dried leaves, shrubs, dead plant matter) that a wildfire could use to spread quicker.

The prescribed fire removes old vegetation to make room for new growth. It shifts soil nutrients to a state more favorable to prairie species and helps reduce the spread of invasive and pest species. A proscribed fire consumes excess fuel, such as dead and downed trees, reducing dangerous and intense wildfires.
