When Your Community Borders Public Land: Planning Property Work

Keep your approved project separate from land managed by another organization.

By Wildfire Treatment Group.

Establish whose land is involved

Identify the public-land manager and the association or owner boundary before defining work. A visible trail, fence or mowed edge may not settle ownership. Ask the appropriate parties to clarify uncertainty. Do not authorize a contractor to cross the boundary based on an informal assumption.

Share plans through the right contact

Ask the community’s representative to discuss relevant adjacent projects with the land manager. Record what is confirmed and what remains proposed. Another organization’s future work should not be described as completed or used to imply approval of your own project.

Define the WTG scope on controlled land

Provide the confirmed boundaries and any applicable access constraints during the treatment inquiry. WTG’s proposal should identify the suitable vegetation it would treat and the excluded adjoining land. If outside permissions are needed, keep the affected area pending until resolved. Retain that distinction in resident communications and the completion map.
