| Abstract: |
Over the past five years, fire managers in the Flagstaff Wildland/Urban Interface have developed a system of socially welcomed fuel reduction treatments that have proven effective in reducing wildfire hazard, improving probability for successful initial attack, maintaining and enhancing vegetative diversity, and initiating improvement of overall forest health. The long term objective of the program is to facilitate stewardship of forested properties within the interface, regardless of ownership or jurisdiction.<br><br>
The Flagstaff Interface Treatment Prescription incorporates not only forestry and fire science but also community and neighborhood input as vital components in successfully developing, implementing, and maintaining the treatments. With several thousand acres now treated, other benefits and lessons have been noted as well. |
