Wildland Fire Management Planning & Implementation
Wildland Fire Monitoring and Research Studies
We have been developing wildland fire management plans for federal and land conservancy clients for over 15 years, and our partners contribute many decades of expertise in this field. Tierra Data staff has performed research in many aspects of vegetation and soil recovery after fires, and we provide expertise in fire behavior modeling using FARSITE and BEHAVE software. Our monitoring services include emergency stabilization and rehabilitation, fire treatment effectiveness, and fire effects. We ensure compliance with federal, state, and local fire policy and the National Fire Plan.

Key Project
Wildland Fire Management Plan for the Center for Natural Lands Management, Barnett Ranch
As part of the County of San Diego's Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan, Barnett Ranch is to be included in the open space reserve system for the purpose of preserving sensitive resources. We developed a Wildland Fire Management Plan that is consistent with Area Specific Management Directives for using the property as a biological reserve and for restoring habitat for MSCP's target species. Client: Center for Natural Lands Management.
Fire Monitoring and Research Studies, Camp Pendleton
As part of the adaptive management foundation for the Wildland Fire Management Plan for Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, which was developed by Tierra Data, a follow-up program of field studies was designed to address data gaps and management challenges associated with the effects of wildland fire on sensitive natural resources. Fire incident reports, aerial photography, and field visits were used to map the boundaries of fire. The resulting maps and location data were used to compare fire patterns with Success Targets outlined in the Fire Plan.
