The Forestry Resources program of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Environment Division has launched a Fire Management Planning project in conjunction with Emergency Planning and the Hogansburg Akwesasne Volunteer Fire Department to determine goals, objectives, and strategies for reducing and preventing fires. This effort has resulted in a strategic Fire Management Plan giving programmatic direction for the safe, effective management of wildland fires in Akwesasne. The program also provides mechanisms for fire department cost reimbursement from fighting brush fires, and provides access to firefighting training. The Tribe’s Forest Management Plan currently allows for suppression of wildfires, emergency fire stabilization and rehabilitation activities, but prescribed fire is not permitted.
