The study will evaluate hazardous fuels management activities, the health of native ecosystems, and the impact of weather and topography on wildfire risk. The Secretary will also assess the effectiveness of partnerships between the Forest Service and non-Federal entities in reducing wildfire vulnerability. The study will identify best practices, administrative barriers, and opportunities for improved coordination.
