Wildfire Resiliency Program

How it works

Palouse Conservation District says it is using funding awarded by the Washington State Conservation Commission to provide technical and financial assistance for homeowners residing within the PCD boundary. Staff members can visit properties and provide one-on-one advice for a home ignition zone risk assessment, hazardous fuels reduction, forest health improvements, defensible space creation, and related wildfire-resilience work.

What the money covers

The page explicitly says the program offers support for:

• Home ignition zone risk assessments
• Hazardous fuels reduction
• Forest health improvements
• Defensible space creation
• Hazardous vegetation removal
• Technical assistance and site visits

The page also notes that homeowners living in rural- and urban-wildland interfaces and rural communities within the PCD boundary receive priority status for cost-share funding.

How to apply

Interested homeowners are instructed to click the “Request Assistance” button or form on the Palouse Conservation District website. For questions about the wildfire resiliency program or available funding, the page lists Brad Johnson as the contact person at BradleyJ@PalouseCD.org or 509-553-1841.

Timing and deadlines

The official page does not give an application deadline, funding cycle, or end date. It presents the program as available now and points homeowners to the request-assistance form for next steps.
