The Hood River County Forest Resilience Initiative focuses on private lands in Hood River County, Oregon and addresses concerns of wildfire risk by utilizing a series of practices to improve forest resilience. This initiative has been catalyzed by recent uncharacteristic and catastrophic wildfire events occurring in the Pacific Northwest and in this region specifically. Exclusion of fire from the landscape and changes in climatic patterns over time have resulted in a separation from natural processes in forest ecosystems resulting in undesirable conditions for wildfire behavior. Although this strategy primarily addresses concerns related to wildfire, objectives are to return systems to their natural structure and composition which will subsequently support ecosystem processes on a holistic level and promote native plant and wildlife species.

Conservation Practices include:
- Prescribed Burning
- Fuel Break
- Firebreak
- And more as specified on the website.
