Pyrosilviculture Shared Vision

Overview

The ACCG’s Pyrosilviculture/Rx Fire Ad Hoc group, a subcommittee of the ACCG Planning Work Group, developed the Pyrosilviculture Shared Vision Statement as a future guiding document for the collaborative’s planning and implementation efforts. This document received approval from the full ACCG in August 2021. This vision statement is intended to utilize the best available science to restore forests to a more resilient natural condition to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. To that end, the vision statement cites the work published by North et al. (2021) in the Journal of Forestry, titled “Pyrosilviculture Needed for Landscape Resilience of Dry Western United States Forests”, (link to North et al. 2021 paper here) as a guiding method of forest restoration.
