In mid-March of 2018, KCD’s Jarret Griesemer coordinated the installation of a wildfire risk reduction project with the Trilogy at Redmond Ridge community. Members of Trilogy’s Forest Stewardship Committee, alongside Olson Outdoor Improvements crew, helped remove dead brush from a stretch of forest close behind a row of homes along the edge of the community. This is the first of several projects planned with communities in King County that will lower the amount wildfire fuels within forests surrounding homes. These projects help to increase the likelihood that homes will survive a wildfire, should one occur.
