Welcome to Community Wildfire Resiliency Coalition

Welcome to the Community Wildfire Resiliency Coalition (CWRC). We are dedicated to building wildfire-resilient communities and forests through strategic partnerships, community engagement, and comprehensive forest management strategies. At CWRC, we understand that protecting our communities goes hand in hand with safeguarding our forests. Therefore, we prioritize the preservation and sustainable management of forested areas alongside our efforts to enhance community resilience.

CWRC believes in the power of collaboration. By working together, we can protect the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) and mitigate wildfire risks more effectively, ensuring both the safety of our communities and the longevity of our forests.

Let's Collaborate

CWRC invites individuals, organizations, communities, tribes, cities, state, and federal agencies to join us in our mission to build wildfire-resilient communities and forests.
