Reduce megafire risk via science-based thinning and controlled burns.
Scale thinning and prescribed fire in the highest-risk landscapes to reduce megafire behavior and protect communities. This strategy funds planning, execution, and communications that make “good fire” a durable, repeatable program aligned to Washington’s long-term forest health plan.
Why this works

The Nature Conservancy
Tax-deductibleGlobal nonprofit advancing science-based conservation and wildfire-smart forests.
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a global environmental nonprofit advancing science-based conservation. In the U.S., TNC’s fire program leads on prescribed fire and forest/fuel management to reduce megafire risk and restore resilient ecosystems.
Mechanism
How The Nature Conservancy uses funding
- Prioritize treatment areas using the state’s long-term plan and local risk inputs.
- Coordinate with agencies and tribes to plan thinning and prescribed-fire operations.
- Prepare burn plans, staffing, and smoke communications so the next burn window can be used safely.
- Execute thinning and prescribed burns and document results and safety outcomes.
- Share proof points that treatments reduce fuel loads and improve firefighter safety to keep momentum durable.
