Wildfire Resilience Fund

Wildfires are a natural part of California’s landscape and ecology, but their increasing intensity threatens the ecosystems, communities, and green spaces we work tirelessly to protect. TreePeople’s Wildfire Resilience Fund is dedicated to proactive fire mitigation, ecological restoration, and long-term resilience efforts throughout thousands of acres in Southern California. By investing in this fund, you help to expand our critical fire prevention efforts, restore fire-scarred landscapes, and ensure our Southern California home is prepared to respond when disaster strikes. Your support will both bolster our ongoing work in burn scars and promote long-term sustainability, through proactive fire mitigation treatments, native plant restoration, and community-driven conservation efforts.
