10 <br />PROJECT <br />STRATEGY <br />"Fire is an essential part of Oregon’s ecosystem, but it is also a serious threat to life and property <br />particularly where urban areas encroach upon forested, open range or grassland areas. Wildfires <br />occur when fire impacts large vegetated areas that require a suppression response. In this region, <br />changes in historic vegetation, climate and fire occurrence are resulting in changes to the patterns <br />and character of fire. In short, the risks and potential impacts of wildfire are increasing." <br />Eugene-Springfield Natural Mitigations Plan 2.6.1 Causes and Characteristics of Wildfires <br />Kyle of Urban Forestry helps facilitate heavy <br />equipment during Chipper Day event held <br />in July. <br />STRATEGY <br />Photo on left <br />Relative Fire Hazard map of Eugene and <br />Springfield.
