Western States Fuel Management Grant

Tubbs Hill

The City of Coeur d’Alene has worked with the Kootenai County Office of Emergency Management team and the Idaho Department of Lands to successfully apply for and receive a grant to perform fuel mitigation work to reduce the risk of fire on Tubbs Hill. This grant has a allows for $240,000 in contract cost for fuel reduction work performed on the Hill. Not only will this help the city in reducing the risk of fire to this treasured Natural Area, it will also allow us to work towards improving forest health. After a brief freeze on grant funding this project is in the planning phase and will shortly go out to bid. The city will be hosting a public information meeting on Tuesday 4/22/2025 at 6:00 PM in the Coeur d’Alene Library Community Room, all interested parties are welcome to attend.
