So true, everywhere!
We Can’t Keep Regulating the Solution and Funding the Disaster 🌲🔥
Every summer, Oregon braces for smoke, evacuations, road closures, and communities wondering whether this will be the fire that reaches them.
We can’t prevent every wildfire—but we can do more to influence what that fire finds when it arrives.
Thinning, prescribed fire, targeted grazing, fuel breaks, and defensible space can all help reduce wildfire risk. Yet too often, prevention gets tied up for years while millions of dollars become available once the landscape is already burning.
We’ve made it easier to fund the disaster than to prevent it.
We dig deeper into this issue in our latest Acreage Advisor blog: We Can’t Keep Regulating the Solution and Funding the Disaster.
