Abstract
During wildland urban interface wildfire events, homes and industry facilities, and other values are often threatened by encroaching wildfire. Vegetation management is one of the key principles recommended by the Fire Smart program to mitigate the risk of wildfire. In this project, FPInnovations studies and documents forest fuel removal and reduction as vegetation management strategies.
