Wildfire resilience starts with people.

We were proud to partner with Resilience Force, Aspen Police Department , and Western Vegetation Management to bring bilingual chainsaw safety and fuels mitigation training to the Roaring Fork Valley.

By investing in local workforce development, we're helping create safer forests, stronger communities, and meaningful career pathways for the people doing the essential work of wildfire mitigation. Building resilience means preparing our landscapes—and empowering the people who care for them.

Thank you to everyone who made this collaboration possible. Together, we're creating a more wildfire-resilient future. 🌲🔥
