🔥 Public Comment Requested – Draft Community Wildfire Protection Plan 🔥

Laramie County residents, stakeholders, landowners, and community partners are encouraged to review the draft Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and provide feedback during the public comment period.

The CWPP is an important planning document that helps identify wildfire risks, prioritize mitigation projects, improve preparedness, and strengthen our community's ability to prevent and respond to wildfires. Your input helps ensure the plan reflects local knowledge, concerns, and priorities.

We invite you to take a few minutes to review the draft plan and share any comments, suggestions, or recommendations you may have. Whether you live in a wildfire-prone area, own property, represent an organization, or simply have an interest in community safety, your feedback is valuable.
