Communities across Washington face significant natural resource challenges, often lacking the necessary tools and resources to address them effectively. These challenges are exacerbated by the dynamic and ever-changing nature of our environment and economic systems, requiring innovative and collaborative solutions.
The WRC&D takes a multifaceted approach to supporting communities’ adaptation to these changing conditions. We believe resilience stems from solid community connections, partnerships, and relationships, which are essential for achieving effective outcomes. We recognize that change is inevitable, whether anticipated or unknown, and that resilient communities are better equipped to weather such changes.
Actively engaging with wildfire is a way of life that Washington must re-learn, and refine. We experimented with trying to eliminate fire for the last 100+ years, but the hard truth is Washington and wildfire are inseparable.
