Prescribed Fire Pilot Habitat Management Initiative

planned

The Native Land Conservancy, Inc., an Indigenous-led non-profit based in Mashpee, MA, will lead a habitat management initiative using prescribed fire at the Wampanoag Common Lands in Kingston, MA. This project will help manage invasive species, restore native biodiversity and grassland habitat, and enhance overall climate resilience. Additionally, the project will build capacity for prescribed fire and biodiversity assessments, with training and professional development for tribal members to gain experience and carry out habitat stewardship across the region.
