Community forests strengthen relationships and preparedness in their communities – featuring the Creston Community Forest

When planning for a recent fuel mitigation project, the Creston Community Forest heard concerns from private landowners adjacent to the treatment area. Daniel Gratton, Creston Community Forest Manager, and the rest of the Creston Community Forest team took the time to meet with community members both in the office and on field visits to answer questions and address concerns. They also hosted a community wildfire preparedness day in the area to help spread info about FireSmart and to allow community members to visit the project site and engage in discussion.
