The initiative.

initiative (n): energy or aptitude displayed in initiation of action.

Our mission is to support local communities through conservation with a focus on science, community resilience, and forest health.

Why? We believe that land stewardship in rural and wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities plays a key role in the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity, representing a rapidly expanding gap within conservation efforts as development in these areas increases faster than ever.

Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to:

1. Implement science-based conservation practices to enhance forest health and resilience.

2. Facilitate community-driven initiatives that promote wildfire preparedness and mitigation.

3. Empower women to assume leadership roles and actively participate in decision-making processes.

4. Foster collaboration with local partners, governmental agencies, and community organizations to maximize impact and sustainability.
