The Greater Santa Fe Fireshed Coalition uses a pro-active, collaborative approach to improve the health and long-term resilience of forested watersheds and communities by addressing wildfire. The Coalition works to build support, understanding, and shared knowledge of the role of fire in an adaptive framework to realize our goals. Our primary goal is to identify and implement high priority on-the ground projects that make the Fireshed and its communities more resilient to wildfire while maintaining and restoring resilient landscapes. This goal will be realized when fire is used as a tool for management throughout our fire adapted forests, and communities in and adjacent to these forests become fire adapted - they understand the role of fire and are prepared for its occurrence.
Coalition members the Forest Stewards Guild and City of Santa Fe Fire have partnered to assist landowners with wildfire risk mitigation. Through the Fire Safe Santa Fe project and funding from the Community Wildfire Defense Grant program, we aim to enable and inform efforts to create fire-resilient communities across the Greater Santa Fe Fireshed.
