Wildfire Crisis:

Our partnership with the US Forest Service is vital to our success on-the-ground of addressing the ongoing wildfire crisis in the state. We work handin-hand with our federal partners to identify areas of high risk to protect the communities and resources of Utah.—

Jamie Barnes, Utah Director of Forestry, Fire and State Lands

tor of Forestry, Fire and State Lands Jamie Barnes. "Secretary Vilsack's efforts will help us continue the work we are currently doing and will dramatically increase the pace and scale of work in the Wasatch and Pine Valley areas to improve the health of our forests and protect our critical watersheds."

The Pine Valley Landscape will join 20 other landscapes across the U.S. as a priority landscape that will receive funding to dramatically increase the pace and scale of work to mitigate the potential for extreme wildfire and eventually result in sustainable, healthy forests that are resistant to wildfire.

Wildfire Crisis

Cont'd from page 1 lion to 11 key landscapes across the western United States, and will be used to restore our national forests, including the restoration of resilient old-growth forest conditions.”

In Utah, the Wasatch and Pine Valley landscapes were selected for increased funding.

The Wasatch Landscape is approximately 1.1 million acres, encompassing 714,000 acres of National Forest System lands. Approximately 382,000 acres, or 44 percent, of the Wasatch landscape is classified as a high-risk fireshed, posing a considerable threat to the function of vital watersheds, plant and wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and private property.

The Pine Valley Landscape is approximately 400,000 acres, encompassing 250,000 acres of National Forest System lands. Values at risk in this priority area include water quality, watershed health and resiliency, critical infrastructure including major national energy corridors, wildland-urban interface, and intermixed public and private land in St. George and adjacent communities.

This announcement complements the agency’s 10 landscape projects announced in 2022 and the agency’s broader strategy to address critical infrastructure, community protection, and forest resilience at risk to catastrophic wildfire. Combined with the initial investment landscapes, these actions will span nearly 45 million acres across 137 of the 250 high-risk firesheds in the western U.S., with a total investment of $930 million on 21 landscapes across 26.7 million acres in 2023. This work will mitigate risk to approximately 200 communities within these landscapes.

"This is excellent news," said Utah Governor Spencer Cox. "The best way to prevent catastrophic wildfires is to actively and aggressively manage our forests, which takes money and focus on the areas that need it most. Secretary Vilsack and I have talked extensively about this topic for the past two years, and I’m thrilled with these investments. Better forest management means fewer and milder fires, which means lives and homes saved, cleaner air and water, more water in our reservoirs, and healthier forests for Utahns to enjoy. I'm grateful for our solid collaboration with the Forest Service, for the hard work of the Utah Department of Natural Resources, and to our Congressional partners for recognizing the value of these investments for Utah."

"We have an amazing opportunity to address the wildfire crisis through the investments being announced...,” said Intermountain Regional Forester Mary Farnsworth. “In Utah we are uniquely positioned with an established and very successful shared stewardship program that focuses on working together with our Tribal, State, Federal and local partners to implement on the ground projects that protects communities and watersheds from catastrophic fire."

"Our partnership with the US Forest Service is vital to our success on-theground of addressing the ongoing wildfire crisis in the state. We work handin-hand with our federal partners to identify areas of high risk to protect the communities and resources of Utah,” said Utah Direc-

To meet this moment, Secretary Vilsack is also authorizing the Forest Service to utilize a new emergency authority in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, combined with strategic implementation of existing authorities. Doing so will enable the agency to move more quickly in applying targeted treatments to high-risk firesheds identified in the agency’s Wildfire Crisis Strategy, as well as postfire recovery areas most impacted the past several years.

These actions are required to be conducted in an ecologically appropriate manner that maximizes the retention of large trees, considers historically underserved communities and tribes, and is done collaboratively with communities and partners.

"Doing this work in the right place, at the right time, and at the right scale, combined with the use of emergency authorities, will accelerate our planning, consultation, contracting, hiring and project work to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest health and resilience," said Forest Service Chief Randy Moore. "Collaboration with Tribes, communities and partners will remain a priority, and we will continue to use the best available science when carrying out this important work."
