Crow Wing County Community Wildfire Protection Plan / Chipper Days / wildfire mitigation activities

How it works

The county’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan describes wildfire preparedness and mitigation actions for the county. It mentions that neighborhoods can coordinate hazard fuel reduction through “Chipper Days,” where groups of at least 5–10 neighbors plan and hire a chipping contractor.

What the money covers

The plan discusses wildfire reduction work such as fuel reduction, chipping, and possible future mitigation projects. It also notes that county emergency management could seek funding for activities such as external wildfire sprinkler systems or metal roofs, but the document does not say that a homeowner can currently apply for a county grant or receive a fixed reimbursement amount.

Amounts and matching

No homeowner amount, match, reimbursement rate, or cap is stated in the plan.

How to apply

The plan itself does not provide an application form or a homeowner application process. It reads as a planning document rather than an active homeowner incentive application page.

Timing and deadlines

The plan is tied to the 2024 county wildfire protection planning effort and identifies future mitigation work in the 2026–2031 timeframe, but it does not document open homeowner funding deadlines.
