Comments:
Description: Implement two phases of hazardous fuel reduction on property identified through community fire plans developed in 2001.
Total Funded: $100,000
Phase I would involve fuel treatment in Tall Pines and Cascade Estates Subdivisions involving approximately 60 acres. This project is in conjunction with and adjacent to the US Forest Service 5825
corridor fuel treatment project scheduled for 2002.
Phase II, scheduled for 2003, involves 13 subdivisions and over 300 acres and 750+ homes. Adjacent to the Long Prairie fuel treatment on BLM & USFS lands. Part of this Phase would involve
implementing evacuation routes.

Comments:
Description: Skamania, Klickitat, Hood River and Wasco Counties lie in high fire risk areas due to high fuel loads, increasing numbers of interface dwellers and weather. This two-year project targets 1) identifying
high risk areas using existing interface survey protocol; 2) working with rural volunteer fire districts to identify and remedy equipment and training and; 3) educating interface dwellers in wildfire damage
prevention. A 1.0 fte WSU Extension Coordinator assisted by 0.5 fte from two summer hourly positions would achieve these tasks in areas identified by a bi-state advisory council (state and federal
wildfire managers and county representatives). Expected outcomes are data bases describing fire risk areas and rural fire districts; increased access to grant funding by rural volunteer fire districts, and
increased fire-wise management of interface dweller properties. Comparing pre- and post-activity results using standard methods such as focus groups and surveys would assess impacts.

Comments:
Description: This grant is designed to provide a follow-up to three grants that were funded in 2001. In the original three grants an estimate was made on the amount of work that the landowners would sign up to do.
There is still work that needs done and this grant will cover that work. The original grants provided assistance to non-industrial landowners in the Canyon Creek, Strawberry Front, and Monument areas for
vegetation management to create defensible space and to reduce fire hazard and improve forest health in the adjoining timber stands. The same is true with this grant proposal. The funds would be used as
a cost share incentive to allow landowners to make a single entry into stands and treat the total stand to meet the objective of reducing the fire hazard and improving forest health.

Description: Specifically, to improve 7 miles of existing fire breaks and fire access roads on Maryhill Museum of Art’s 6000 acre conservatory, (contracted with 3 men/ 133 man hours/ $75 hr.), and install 4 fire
prevention education signs. Maryhill Museum of Art, a private not for profit 501(c) (3) incorporated in the State of Washington, has partnered with Klickitat County department of emergency
management, local ranchers and neighbors to develop a preliminary fire plan for its 6000 acre conservatory. This plan is multi-faceted and includes: removal of hazardous woody fuels; improvement of
existing fire break and fire access roads; development of water access; creation of green belts and installation of fire prevention education signage. In 2001 funds were awarded to begin implementation of
the plan, with a total of 8 acres of woody fuels removed from those 35 acres immediately surrounding the Museum, and to begin rejuvenation of existing fire break/ fire access roads. We ask for your
continued support

Description: A partnership between the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center, USDA Forest Service, Washington State Department of Natural Resources, U. S. Fish and Wildlife, and local fire departments will create
and implement the "Yacolt Burn of 1902: Could It Happen Again?" project. There are two goals of this collaboration: (1) Capitalize upon the hundredth anniversary of the Yacolt Burn to reduce fire risk
in the wildland urban interface by implementing fire prevention education in the school districts and communities of Clark, Cowlitz, and Skamania Counties, which have been identified as areas of high
wildfire risk. (2) Create a unique partnership which combines the resources and staff from local, state, and federal government agencies with a non-profit organization.

Comments:
Description: The Yakama Nation Lands are a checker board of mixed ownerships, comprised of Allotted, Trust and Non-Trust lands. Protection primarily lies with Yakima County Fire Dist. 5 with areas of mutual
protection with Bureau of Indian Affairs. The project involves the development of an Interagency cooperative for the protection of homes (Trust and Non-Trust), property (Trust and Non-Trust), and
resources. The development of a seasonal interagency staff would assist in the reduction and/or mitigation of fire hazard within White Swan and surrounding community. Interagency crews would assist in
the development of a database that would include locations of residences, improvements and hazards, useful data for both agencies. Public education would be an interagency effort utilizing fire prevention
tools such as Smokey, Sparky, and Freddy. Local media, events in schools and the community would be utilized to assist in public education concerning fire hazards and preventative measures such as
defensible space and structure prepardness.
