Post-Fire Recovery

Once the fire is out, the real work of recovery begins. Moderate‑ and high‑severity burns can leave behind damaged soils, altered vegetation, and long‑term ecological changes that won’t heal on their own. Thoughtful planning, monitoring, and adaptive management help reduce these lasting impacts and guide the landscape toward a more resilient trajectory. It’s also essential to identify and address new hazards—such as weakened trees, damaged infrastructure, or erosion‑prone slopes—so they don’t become safety risks for landowners, workers, or the public.

Hazard Tree Felling

Post-fire hazard trees pose serious safety risks to workers, residents, and remaining infrastructure. Dangerous trees can be identified and felled to protect people and access routes in the burned area.
Recovery Plan Preparation and Implementation

Without a structured recovery plan, burned landscapes can suffer ongoing erosion, habitat loss, and secondary damage. We can develop and execute site-specific plans that address erosion, hazard trees, reseeding, and long-term rehabilitation.
Monitoring and Adaptive Management

Conditions on burned ground change over time, and treatments often need adjustment to remain effective. Post-fire conditions can be tracked and treatments adapted as needed to meet recovery objectives and reduce future risk.
