Jacksonville Community Wildfire Protection Project

The Jacksonville Community Wildfire Protection Project is a strategic, ecologically-minded project collaboration to help reduce the threat of wildfire within selected areas of Jacksonville, Oregon and specific areas adjacent to the city.

The City of Jacksonville, Jacksonville Woodlands group and the local FireWise communities have joined forces with Lomakatsi and other members of the Rogue Forest Partners, including the local OSU Extension and Southern Oregon Forest Restoration Collaborative. Together they have raised over $1.5 million to assist landowners and the City of Jacksonville in reducing wildfire risk through ecological thinning and prescribed fire. Using this funding, landowners in the project area may be eligible for ecological fuels reduction on their property at no cost to them. All treatments are completely voluntary.

What properties are being treated?

At this time, partners are reaching out to landowners in strategic areas to inquire about treatments on their properties. We typically reach out initially with a postcard.

If you are interested in ecological fuels reduction on your property—often at no cost to you—please complete the form below. We are prioritizing treatments in strategic areas and will not be able to treat all interested landowners’ properties. We appreciate your patience as we respond to inquiries as quickly as possible.

Initial treatments began in 2023 and will continue over the next several years. Partners continue to raise funding for additional work in the project area.
