The purpose of the Greater Sisters Country CWPP is to protect human life and reduce property loss due to catastrophic wildland fire in the communities and surrounding areas of the Sisters/Camp Sherman, Black Butte Ranch, and Cloverdale Rural Fire Protection Districts. Plan goals are to (1) coordinate hazardous fuel reduction treatments across boundaries because wildland fires do not pay attention to political boundaries; and (2) promote a better understanding of living in a fire-adapted environment; and (3) promote personal responsibility for taking preventative action.
The purpose of the Greater Sisters Country CWPP is to protect human life and reduce property loss due to catastrophic wildland fire in the communities and surrounding areas of the Sisters/Camp Sherman, Black Butte Ranch, and Cloverdale Rural Fire Protection Districts. Although reducing the threat of wildland fire is the primary motivation behind this plan, managing the forests and rangelands for hazardous fuel reduction and fire resilience is only one part of the larger picture. Residents and visitors alike want healthy, fire-resilient forests that provide habitat for wildlife, recreation opportunities, and scenic beauty.
