Forestry Notes
Washington Landowners
The Washington DNR is providing 75% cost
share for reforestation, fire hazard reduction, and stewardship planning.
Reforestation dollars are direct towards planting areas affected by the
wildfires in 2000. Fire hazard reduction money is available for thinning,
pruning, creating defensible space, fire breaks, and slash removal.
Stewardship planning and activities are currently being funded as well.
There is a limited amount of money available on a first come first serve
basis for all of these activities. Contact Brain Vrablick at (509)
