Wildfire Recovery & Flood Mitigation

Wildfire recovery and flood mitigation are vital to restoring balance in our forests and protecting nearby communities. In the past, low-intensity fires helped clear undergrowth, recycle nutrients, and create healthier, more diverse habitats, but decades of fire suppression have led to severe wildfires with devastating impacts. After these large fires, communities often face flooding, soil loss, and water quality issues, which is why CUSP works to heal burn scars through re-vegetation, river restoration, and long-term flood mitigation. With strong community support, we can help forests and watersheds recover and thrive once again.
