Take Action
Practical ways to protect your property, your community, and your basin.
How you can help.
Every action strengthens the basin.
Whether you’re a landowner preparing for wildfire, a community member looking to get involved, or a supporter who shares our vision — there’s a place for you in this work. Start with what matters most to you.
Protect Your Property
Learn what you can do before and after a wildfire to protect your home, your land, and your family. Practical steps, local resources, and links to mitigation programs.
Slash Collection Sites
Find a slash collection site near you. ARWC operates 12 community sites across the basin where you can drop off slash from your wildfire mitigation work.
Chipping Program
Sign up for ARWC’s community chipping program. We’ll come to your neighborhood to chip slash piles on-site — making mitigation easier and more accessible.
Get involved.
Lend your hands, your time, or your voice.
ARWC hosts volunteer work days, stream monitoring events, community tours, and educational workshops throughout the year. Whether you have a few hours or a full day, there are ways to contribute to the health of the basin.
