Terra Fuego depends on land managers and owners to become part of the mission. Applying fire to improve forests and range land is a collaborative effort with local fire authorities, resource regulators, land management agencies, fire safe councils, and nearby communities.
We look forward to building our network to promote sustainable land management through a variety of job development, social improvement, and conservation organizations.

The Fire Learning Network (FLN) builds capacity for beneficial fire to enhance watershed health and wildlife resilience. By connecting practitioners and providing training, they implement "river-smart" fire management across diverse landscapes. These collaborative efforts restore natural fire cycles, protecting critical headwaters and habitats while fostering sustainable fire cultures that safeguard both communities and ecosystems.

Prescribed Fire Training Exchanges (TREX) facilitate "river-smart" fire management by providing hands-on training and cross-boundary collaboration. By connecting practitioners to burning opportunities, TREX expands the capacity to restore natural fire cycles. These efforts improve watershed health and wildlife resilience, protecting critical headwaters from catastrophic wildfires through the strategic use of beneficial fire on the landscape.

The Watershed Research and Training Center advances watershed health and wildlife resilience through integrated land management and biomass partnerships. By implementing "river-smart" fuel treatments and prescribed fire, they protect vital headwaters and restore forest ecosystems. Their collaborative approach creates sustainable jobs while ensuring landscapes are fire-resilient, safeguarding water quality and habitat for local communities.

Simtable enhances watershed health and wildlife resilience through advanced agent-based modeling and data visualization. By providing digital sand tables, they allow practitioners to simulate "river-smart" prescribed burns and wildfire behavior in real time. These simulations help partners protect critical headwaters and habitats by optimizing fuel treatments and restoration strategies for more fire-resilient landscapes.

The Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve (BCCER) enhances watershed health and wildlife resilience through active stewardship and "river-smart" land management. By implementing prescribed burns and invasive species removal, they protect critical headwaters and restore native habitats. As a hub for research and education, the reserve demonstrates how traditional and modern fire practices safeguard water quality and biodiversity.

The Alliance for Workforce Development (AFWD) supports watershed health and wildlife resilience by connecting job seekers with essential training in "river-smart" land management. By facilitating career pathways in prescribed fire and forestry, they provide the skilled labor needed to restore headwaters and protect habitats. Their partnerships ensure a local workforce is equipped to build fire-resilient, healthy landscapes.

American Rivers partners with land managers to improve watershed health and wildfire resilience. By supporting "river-smart" fuel management—including prescribed burns and forest thinning—they help prevent high-severity wildfires that threaten water quality. These restoration efforts protect vital headwaters, maintain natural water storage, and safeguard aquatic habitats, ensuring landscapes remain resilient for both people and wildlife.

The Butte County Fire Safe Council (BCFSC) protects communities and ecosystems through wildfire education, hazard mitigation, and landscape restoration. By implementing "river-smart" fuel reduction—including forest thinning, grazing, and prescribed burns—they enhance watershed health and wildlife resilience. Their collaborative projects restore natural fire cycles and safeguard critical headwaters, ensuring the landscape remains resistant to catastrophic fire.

The Butte Prescribed Burn Association (PBA) empowers landowners and residents to implement "river-smart" fire management through shared resources and training. By conducting controlled burns to restore natural fire cycles, they enhance watershed health and wildlife resilience. These efforts reduce hazardous fuel loads in critical headwaters, protecting water quality and fostering a fire-adapted landscape for local ecosystems.

Deer Creek Resources provides specialized geospatial analysis and strategic planning to enhance watershed health and wildfire resilience. By utilizing advanced GIS mapping and fire modeling, they design "river-smart" fuel treatments and prescribed burn plans. Their data-driven approach helps partners protect critical headwaters and wildlife habitats, ensuring landscape management efforts effectively mitigate high-severity fire risks.

The Feather River Resource Conservation District (FRRCD) promotes watershed health and wildlife resilience through collaborative land management and restoration projects. By implementing "river-smart" practices like prescribed fire and forest thinning, they protect vital headwaters and improve habitat quality. Their efforts restore natural ecosystem functions, ensuring the Feather River watershed remains resilient against catastrophic wildfire and climate change.

The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County protects and manages critical landscapes to enhance watershed health and wildlife resilience. By implementing "river-smart" stewardship—including prescribed burns and invasive species management—they safeguard vital water sources and habitat corridors. Their work ensures that local ecosystems remain fire-resilient and capable of supporting diverse wildlife and clean water for the community.

The Pacific Forest Trust (PFT) enhances watershed health and wildlife resilience by pioneering "river-smart" conservation on private working forests. They integrate prescribed fire and ecological thinning to restore natural fire cycles, which protects critical headwaters from catastrophic wildfire and sediment runoff. Their data-driven stewardship safeguards vital habitats for threatened species while ensuring forests continue to provide clean, reliable water and robust climate benefits.

The Resource Conservation District of Butte County (RCDBC) fosters watershed health and wildlife resilience by providing technical assistance and implementing large-scale restoration projects. Through "river-smart" fuel reduction and prescribed fire initiatives, they protect critical headwaters from catastrophic wildfire. Their work balances agricultural productivity with ecosystem stewardship, ensuring healthy habitats and secure water resources for the entire landscape.
