Building Local Capacity for Safe Community Prescribed Fire

The Cohasset Ridge Prescribed Burn Association is working to help landowners, neighbors, and community partners safely bring good fire back to the landscape. Through local leadership, shared resources, hands-on learning, and qualified fire support, we are building the capacity needed to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest health across the Cohasset Ridge area.
