Our Foundation

Restoring Sierra Forests Through Good Fire

We advance science-based stewardship and prescribed fire, uniting landowners, agencies, and Tribes to build a skilled workforce and foster fire-adapted landscapes.

Our Approach

Reintroducing Beneficial Fire

The Sierra Nevada ecosystem evolved with fire. Decades of suppression have led to overgrown forests, increasing catastrophic wildfire risk. We actively reintroduce low-intensity prescribed fire, essential for healthy forest regeneration and community safety.

Our field teams work year-round, clearing understory and preparing landscapes to safely apply beneficial fire under optimal conditions, ensuring long-term ecological balance.

Workforce Growth

We ground every decision in ecological research and atmospheric science, ensuring effective and safe prescribed fire application.

Rigorous training protocols and adherence to best practices protect our crews, communities, and the landscapes we manage.

Honoring traditional ecological knowledge, we partner with Tribal leaders to integrate ancestral fire practices into modern stewardship.

We invest in training, scholarships, and equipment access to develop a skilled, resilient workforce for proactive land management.
