Welcome! The Good Fire Alliance is the community of partners in the North Bay Area working together to restore good fire to the land! If you haven't joined the Good Fire Alliance yet, you can do so by emailing main+subscribe@gfa.groups.io 

This survey and project intake is managed by Fire Forward, a program of Audubon Canyon Ranch, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation organization. We support land owners and managers in getting prescribed fire back on lands they steward. Completing this survey helps us get a sense of your property and determine whether your project is a fit for our program’s capacity and goals. If so, we may follow up with a phone call and explore the possibility of a site visit.

The survey will allow you to tell us about your objectives, ideas, and capacity for working as a Good Fire Alliance partner to get good fire back on the land you own or manage. A Fire Forward team member will reach out to you to further discuss your potential project.

If you are interested, we also invite you to click here for a list businesses within the GFA network that may be able to work with you on your land in a variety of ways.
