Each session provides a picture of how the program works and how to submit a strong application. The Hazardous Fuels Transportation Assistance Program is a crucial component of the national effort to restore forests and prevent catastrophic wildfire, helping overcome one of the biggest barriers to reducing wildfire risk: the cost of transporting forest products from the woods to mills.
