Walker County Community Wildfire Protection Plan

Wildland fire is an integral component of the ecosystem of Walker County.  For millennia low intensity fires have maintained the health of our native forests and grasslands. Changes in land use and fire suppression have significantly altered the composition and structure of native vegetation in these fire prone ecosystems.  In many  situations this risk associated with a wildfire can be dramatically reduced through actions such as public outreach, fuels reduction around structures, and improving communities' infrastructure.  For additional information please click here.
