How it works

The Larimer County Office of Emergency Management created this program in 2022 to remove the upfront-cost barrier to community mitigation work. The county says the program funds community-led mitigation projects within Larimer County.

What the money covers

The county’s official examples include:

  • Forest treatments of community spaces
  • Roadside brush and fuel removal and improvements to community evacuation routes
  • Home ignition zone and defensible space work
  • Slash hauling, chipping, and disposal
  • Equipping community mitigation tool libraries
  • Removal of vegetative debris in waterways
  • Wildfire preparedness outreach and education

The county also says 2026 awards supported hazardous fuels reduction, community chipping and slash removal programs, development of community firewood banks, and tools and equipment for wildfire mitigation efforts.

Amounts and matching

  • Grants are up to $10,000 per recipient.
