Keeping My Forest Healthy

Fuels Management

Managing fuels - through thinning, pruning, prescribed fire, or other methods - is one of the most important things you can do to make your property more resilient to wildfire.

  • DNR offers financial assistance programs to reduce wildfire risk for small forest landowners. The program is currently expanding into Western Washington.
  • See treatments in your area through DNR's interactive Forest Health Tracker.
  • DNR offers training on conducting prescribed fire through its Certified Burner Program. Read more about the program here.
