CHUMSTICK WILDFIRE STEWARDSHIP COALITION

We work to promote rural economic development and use of restoration by-products. Consulting foresters, fuels removal contractors, and alternative uses for forest products are near the top of the list for us. We need our contractors, foresters, and other industry folks to help us stay safer in the event of a wildfire. Find more on these strategies in ‘Before the Fire.' (provide link)... These landscape characteristics coupled with development where communities meet the wildland and the increase in fire intensity in the Leavenworth area, leave our community at high risk for damage to lives, property, and infrastructure. As an organization we aim to create a "new natural"-a culture that coexists with wildfire and accepts fire as a natural process in our landscape... We strive to restore fire dependent ecosystems, and recognize fire's place and role in the landscape.
