Post-Fire Recovery Landowner Site Assessment Template and GuideWildfireOR
Successful wildfire recovery depends on assessing wildfire impacts, determining landscape needs, prioritizing restoration activities and accessing resources. In response to multiple record-setting wildfire seasons, OSU Extension designed a site assessment tool to help professionals and organizations interact with landowners, provide recommendations for restoration activities and connect them with resources. This post-wildfire site assessment tool is a guide to effective communication in initial encounters with landowners. The goals of this site assessment are twofold: 1) Help landowners develop priorities and action-oriented goals for their forest. 2) Connect landowners with the financial, technical and physical resources they need to take action.
