Taking action after the fire passes can reduce negative effects on soils and vegetation.  The Wildland Fire Program supports landowners with strategies for assessing fire damage, minimizing erosion, and rehabilitating vegetation.  Planning for these actions can turn post-fire scenarios into opportunities to alter vegetation and reduce future fire risk by altering vegetation.
