Lomakatsi contracted a highly trained crew from Grayback Forestry, Inc., with support from our operations team, to carefully implement controlled underburning on approximately 75 acres of private land under desirable conditions this week, as part of the The Ashland Forest Resiliency Stewardship Project. The burn area, located along a strategic ridgeline in the foothills between Ashland and Talent, connects multiple areas previously treated with ecological thinning and prescribed fire to maximize ecological benefit, improve wildlife habitat, reduce wildfire risk, and allow firefighters to work more safely and effectively during a summer wildfire.
