Exciting milestone for the Blue River Wildfire Ready Action Plan (WRAP) as the Blue River Watershed Group presents the final plan to help communities, water resources, and critical infrastructure become more resilient to wildfire impacts.

Stillwater Sciences, along with key project partners JW Associates,
supported this important effort as part of the project team, contributing technical analyses and planning focused on watershed resilience, river and floodplain restoration, wetland enhancement, and pre-disaster mitigation strategies that can help watersheds recover more effectively from future wildfire events. The plan also advances a pipeline of priority projects ready for future funding and implementation.
