Local partners are working to secure funding through Boulder County’s Strategic Fuels Mitigation Grant (SFMG) for a cross-boundary wildfire mitigation effort. The project objectives are to implement wildfire mitigation on both public land and residential property in the Wonderland Hills neighborhood.

Methods include:

• Removal of hazardous fuels on private property (for residents who choose to participate)

• Mowing and grazing for vegetation management on OSMP land

• Hardening structures to reduce ignitability (for residents who choose to participate)

• Community organizing for continued social momentum toward fire adaptation

This collaborative approach is intended to reduce risk across multiple landowners and stakeholders because wildfire behavior is not influenced by property ownership or boundaries.

An SFMG application will seek funding to support phased treatments of mowing and grazing on OSMP land, as well as vegetation management on private land. Match funding from the City of Boulder would also support home hardening on residential property for those who choose to participate.

If you or someone in your community would like to participate in this project, individually or through collaborative efforts to encourage community-wide participation, please reach out:
