Why Vegetation Management Matters
Why Vegetation Management Matters

Bare ground around work sites is critical. Clearing vegetation to create fire breaks starves a fire of fuel and can greatly increase chances of containment. Herbicide application and brush removal are types of vegetation management that help prevent wildfires from spreading and causing more damage to properties and the environment.

Be Prepared:
Brush Removal
Brush Removal Importance
Mowing or mulching around worksites creates a firebreak. This limits fuel, like underlying brush, short willows, and dry grass, from spreading the wildfire and increasing its intensity. Well maintained pipelines, right-of-ways, and roadsides can also act as firebreaks.

Bare Ground
Herbicide Application
Herbicide Application is the most efficient and economical way to keep your worksite safe from wildfires. Bare ground around your facilities ensures that there is no fuel to spread the fire across your worksite.
