Summary
That is, to:
- understand the wildfire risk to the forests they manage
- reduce this risk through good practice in forest design and planning
Wildfires can have devastating impacts for people, property, industry, infrastructure, and the environment.
Wildfires in forests make up a small proportion of all incidents, and often originate outside the forest boundary, but their impacts can be disproportionately large and costly to forest owners, society and the environment.
