The greater Williams area CWPP is a strategic plan developed to provide all land owners with a broad spectrum of treatment options as well as prioritize areas for treatment on federal, state, and private lands. Site specific planning and treatment is the responsibility of each land owner or jurisdictional agency and should be guided by this plan.
Community protection and preparedness is a critical step toward mitigating immediate fire hazards and restoring adjacent wildlands. A combination of fuel management, FireWise standards, and appropriate wildfire suppression response across ownerships within and adjacent to at-risk communities will reduce threats to life and property, protect values-at-risk, and create a safe context for the use of fire in subsequent forest ecosystem restoration efforts. This plan outlines actions needed to prepare and equip the community to live and thrive within our fire-adapted ponderosa pine forests.
