February 28, 2026 – A new initiative is now available to support Nevada County landowners in managing their properties and enhancing wildfire preparedness. The program, offered through local conservation experts, provides two key services tailored to the community's needs.
The first is a complimentary, personalized advisory visit. Specialists will meet with landowners on their property to discuss specific goals, whether related to forestry, agriculture, erosion control, or habitat improvement. This one-on-one consultation aims to connect residents directly with technical guidance and potential funding resources for their projects.
Complementing this is a series of interactive fire education workshops. These sessions are designed to move beyond basic theory, offering hands-on learning for creating defensible space, understanding fire behavior, and developing actionable preparedness plans. The workshops intend to build a more informed and resilient community through practical, property-specific knowledge.
The dual-program approach recognizes that effective land stewardship and fire resilience are deeply interconnected. By providing both customized advice and community education, the initiative seeks to empower private landowners in safeguarding their homes and contributing to the overall health and safety of the regional landscape.
