Fire Adapted Colorado

Fire Adapted Colorado is an independent non-profit organization closely associated and born out of the Fire Adapted Community Learning Network (FAC Net). FAC Net is a national network of people working to build wildfire resilience capacity in wildfire-prone communities. It is supported through a partnership among The Nature Conservancy, the Watershed Research and Training Center and the USDA Forest Service. FAC Net’s purpose is to connect and support people and communities who are striving to live more safely with wildfire. A fire-adapted community is a knowledgeable, engaged community that is taking actions that will enable them to safely accept fire as part of the surrounding landscape. We are a statewide network supporting fire-adaptation professionals in Colorado, by leveraging connections to improve the performance and results of our members. FACO works with many state and federal agency partners, research and science groups and other non-profits to achieve state-side results.
