Wildfire prevention starts long before fire season.

Forest management IS wildfire prevention — thinning overcrowded forests, removing dangerous fuel buildup, and keeping Idaho forests healthy and resilient year-round.

But we all play a role. Idahoans can help by:

• Following burn restrictions
• Never leaving campfires unattended
• Maintaining trailers and equipment to prevent sparks
• Reporting fires quickly

Healthy forests + responsible actions = stronger protection for Idaho communities, homes, and landscapes. Learn more and get your FREE Thin The Threat sticker at IdahoForests.org.
