BUTTE COUNTY, CA (MPG) - The development of Butte County’s 2025 Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) update is a collaborative effort between local, county, state and federal agencies, along with community organizations and the public.

In partnership with SWCA Environmental Consultants, these groups are working together to create a comprehensive plan that incorporates community input to strengthen wildfire resilience and safeguard local resources.

Butte County invites community members to participate in two upcoming stakeholder workshops for the 2025 Community Wildfire Protection Plan update. These workshops provide an important opportunity for residents, local decision makers, fire management experts and other stakeholders to come together to discuss strategies for reducing wildfire risks across the county.

The workshops are designed to be a collaborative environment where participants can ask questions, share insights and offer feedback that will help shape the Community Wildfire Protection Plan update. Information about the Community Wildfire Protection Plan process will be presented briefly at the start of the meeting, followed by open discussion and opportunities for public input in an open house format.

The first workshop will be on Oct. 8 at 765 East Ave., Chico. The second workshop will be on Oct. 9 at 78 Table Mountain Boulevard, Oroville. Both workshops will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a brief presentation and run until 7:30 p.m.

These workshops are open to all community members and everyone is encouraged to attend and contribute to this critical conversation. Together, we can contribute to a safer, more resilient Butte County.
