The Moore Park Wildfire Risk Reduction Project is made possible through a grant from the Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM), which was awarded to Klamath County Fire District 1 (KCFD1) in coordination with Klamath Falls Parks & Recreation (KFP&R), and community partners.
This funding was made available through OSFM to mitigate the impact of wildfire and provide fire risk prevention in Moore Park surrounding areas such as Lynnwood Sub–division and Lakeshore Drive.
Vegetation management will take place within a 121–acre project area in Moore Park by Lost River Fire Management administered by KCFD1 and KFP&R. The project focuses work on portions of Moore Park near neighborhoods in the Lynnwood area and the interior of Moore Park. Work will include invasive species removal, ladder fuel reduction, and selective pruning to reduce fire risk.
Additionally, KCFD1 and KFP&R will continue to be reaching out to residents in the neighborhoods adjacent to Moore Park and visitors within the park as needed. KCFD1 provides expert guidance on what people can do to reduce fire risk on their own property thru the Community Risk Reduction Program (https://kcfd1.com/community-risk-reduction).
The project is expected to start as early as today, October 2, 2025 and will continue as long as weather allows.
