Wasco County Discusses Plans For Wildfire Mitigation Grant

Wasco County Commissioners learned more about how a five-year $6 million federal grant to put toward wildfire mitigation efforts will be used.  County Planning Director Kelly Howsley-Glover notes a number of agencies are partnering in helping to reduce the fire danger on public lands in the County.  She says residents will note a lot of activity on area roadsides in the next few years to remove potential invasive species that can become fire fuels.  Howsley-Glover says there will also be outreach to discuss defensible space, particularly to vulnerable communities.  The agencies also hope to do chipping that can be spread on area farmlands for regenerative soil purposes.
