Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Policy/Planning/Land Use )

Land trusts and landowners should proactively develop land access agreements with tribal nations to enable cultural burns on their properties; recognizing that as long as tribes remain landless, every burn requires individual negotiation that consumes capacity better spent on the work itself.

Existing Examples of Progress: Sequoia River Lands Trust, a land trust managing lands within the YTT Northern Chumash homeland area, covers vegetation management costs and provides land access for cultural burns; demonstrating how land trusts can serve as enabling partners for landless tribes seeking to restore fire to their territories.
Region: Central Coast
