PERFACT Investments Spark Widespread Progress
This document is part of a series of
thematic fact sheets from the PERFACT cooperative agreement, highlighting recent outcomes from the
partnership’s dozen years of work in the state. With examples pertaining to a range of efforts, including the Klamath River TREX (in the words of a local resident), the first prescribed burn association in the West, a new network of fire adapted communities practitioners, and the numerous ways PERFACT leaders and partners are helping shape the state's policies and programs.
Promoting
Ecosystem Resilience and Fire Adapted Communities Together (PERFACT) is
a cooperative agreement between The Nature Conservancy, USDA Forest
Service and agencies of the Department of the Interior. The agreement
supports the Fire Learning Network (since 2002), Prescribed Fire
Training Exchanges (2008), Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network
(2013), Indigenous Peoples Burning Network (2016) and other efforts that
bring people together to collectively identify and meet our wildfire
challenges.
