Wildfire Protection and RestorationUpdated 12/10/2008 Catastrophic wildfires have ravished extensive areas of the country, particularly in the West. Recent-year events have surpassed all previous fire occurrences across the country. Scientists warn of more frequent fires as populations expand to the urban-wildlands interface. Development of fire retardant species to establish fire-safe buffers between communities and susceptible wildlands is needed. In addition, when fires do occur it is imperative to have readily available supplies of native species to revegetate burn areas. Plant Materials Centers are selecting species and developing planting techniques for fire risk reduction and restoration.
