Implement forest practices that minimize wildfire risk. Although standard fire prevention measures such as mechanical thinning and prescribed burning are typically ineffective in west-side forests when applied across large geographic areas, targeted application of these measures may be used to reduce the risk of severe wildfire disturbance at finer scales (Dalton et al. 2013). If these forest practices are employed, they should be undertaken in a manner consistent with the goals of promoting climate-resilient ecological management.
