This session is provides a step-by-step plan for preparing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). With the enactment of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act in 2003, the idea of a community-based forest planning and fuel-reduction prioritization document was formed. This landmark legislation includes the first meaningful statutory incentive for the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to give consideration, and grant funding, to prioritized fuel-reduction projects identified by local communities. To take advantage of this opportunity, a community must prepare a CWPP.
