The Applegate Fire Plan is a collaborative effort, hatched from an idea that was developed jointly by local citizens and federal agency folks in the Spring of 2001. Due to wide-spread participation throughout the Applegate Valley, general project coordination was organized by the Applegate Partnership, a non-profit communitybased group founded in 1992. Initial funding for this project was awarded via the National Fire Plan to the Applegate Partnership in October, 2001. This written plan is the result.
