Wildfire Mitigation Program

wildfire


The San Mateo County Parks Wildfire Mitigation Program aims to reduce wildfire risks, enhance fire suppression capabilities, and promote forest health in our parks, focusing primarily on residential border areas known as the wildland-urban interface. The 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Program updates the previously adopted 2021 Wildfire Fuel Management Program.

Master Plans

Each Park should have an updated Master Plan that is revised every 20 years. Master Planning is an important method to evaluate parks and their futures, to involve the public in the decision making process and identify projects for future funding.
