Program details

How it works

The County of San Mateo Parks Wildfire Mitigation Program is a county parks effort to reduce wildfire risk, improve forest health, and support fire suppression in areas near residential borders and the wildland-urban interface. The page says the 2025 program updates the previously adopted 2021 Wildfire Fuel Management Program.

What the work includes

The program’s listed goals include reducing live and dead fuels, decreasing horizontal and vertical fuel continuity, reducing tree density, enabling firefighters to respond and suppress fires more effectively, protecting and enhancing entry and exit routes for first responders, residents, and park visitors, and improving forest health and ecosystem resilience.

Funding

The official page states that implementation funding comes from San Mateo County’s Measure K and grants.

Scope

The page frames the program as park-based wildfire risk reduction with benefits to neighboring residential areas, not a homeowner rebate or direct home retrofit subsidy.
