Wildfires are a natural and healthy part of Central Oregon. How does the Land Trust care for our lands to make them stronger in a region that can easily burn?
Heat islands happen when plants are replaced by roads and buildings that trap heat, making cities hotter. Adding more green spaces and native plants can help cool our communities and make them healthier.
Every year Oregonians are responsible for setting wildfires, at tremendous cost to our time, money, resources, property, and sometimes, life. All of us have a part to play as risks of fire increase with a warming climate.
