New report now available: a research-backed guide for Gulf Islands residents living in forested environments. The report explores practical ways to reduce wildfire risk on your property while supporting long-term ecosystem health, including assessing fire risk, managing woody debris, increasing forest moisture, and restoring native plant communities. Written by Emily Brown and Dr. Ruth Waldick, the report focuses on local forest conditions and aims to help build healthier, more resilient forests across the Gulf Islands. 

You can find the full 2026 report in the Reports section of the CARL Research Hub.
