The national database of state and local wildfire hazard mitigation programs
serves as a clearinghouse of information about nonfederal policies and
programs that seek to reduce the risk of loss of life and property through
the reduction of hazardous fuels on private lands. If
you would like to submit a program to the national wildfire programs database,

The North American Fire Learning Network
The Nature Conservancy (TNC)'s North American Fire Learning Network (FLN) promotes the development and testing of creative, adaptive, multi-area fire management strategies that are compatible with The Nature Conservancy's biodiversity conservation goals and the goals of the National Fire Plan. The network strives to achieve tangible, lasting results at landscape, ecoregional, and larger scales that encompass both Conservancy and partner conservation areas. Additional information about the network is available on the FLN Web site.
The network is part of a collaboration between The Nature Conservancy's Fire Initiative, the USDA Forest Service, and the US Department of the Interior. This two-year, $2.1 M project promotes restoration of fire-adapted ecosystems across the United States through fire use education, fire management training, and support for on-the-ground fire restoration efforts.
Demonstration Projects
The Fire Learning Network focuses on the implementation of compatible fire management strategies at five high-priority demonstration sites:
- Long Island Pine Barrens (NY);
- Jemez Mountains (NM);
- Middle Niobrara Valley & Nebraska Sandhills (NE);
- Bighorns Landscape (WY/MT); and
- Upper Deschutes Basin (OR).
Critical learning and best practices are leveraged to 20 to 30 additional priority conservation areas. These conservation areas form an integrated, multi-partner network that facilitates replication of strategies and successes; leveraging of knowledge, techniques, and tools; and identification and implementation of fire management goals that are shared by multiple landowners. For a complete list of conservation areas participating in the network visit the FLN Web site.
