For the last two years, Willamette Partnership has been facilitating the La Pine Basin All-Lands Partnership, dedicated to reducing wildfire risk in southern Deschutes and northern Klamath counties. This summer, we were notified that the federal government would not be fulfilling its last two years for our award, meaning our funding will run out by the end of 2026. We are requesting funds for six months of facilitation while we wait to learn if the group was awarded a BLM grant that would cover our next five years' worth of facilitation.

Chaa-lamali, TEIP's outdoor classroom, falls under Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Protection Districts and the Western Lane Districts.

As the fire season in our area is predicted to become more extreme and longer, we should take decisive action this year.  Acquiring a 300+-gallon firefighting water trailer for Chaa-lamali is a practical step, with an estimated cost of around $18,500.  This will allow us to meet the on-site mobile water requirements for fire suppression, as required by ODF.
