Management

On the Hiawatha, we strive to help create strong fire-adapted ecological communities that are prepared for and adapted to living with fire. Fires do not recognize jurisdictional boundaries or property lines, so we coordinate closely with partners and landowners in both mitigating wildfire risk and fighting fire.

Together with partners, we conduct planned prescribed fires that reduce hazardous fuels while minimizing smoke impacts.

Prescribed fire is an important management tool with many benefits. To learn more about prescribed fire, visit these outstanding web resources:
