Washoe County residents, we want to hear from you.

If your land was damaged by the Hawk, Stallion, or Bug fires, NDF wants to hear from you. We are planning post-fire rehabilitation actions to support ecosystem recovery. The process starts with us understanding community needs and concerns.

Visit tinyurl.com/NDFSurvey2026 to access the survey.
