Community Projects
CLERC's Community Projects typically involve multiple partners and numerous landowners collaborating to establish a wildfire-resilient and climate-adapted landscape. These initiatives are crafted to shield our communities from the repercussions of wildfires and extreme weather events, while also preserving the wildland from adverse human influence.
