Free wildfire and land services in Millard County, Utah

12 programs in 6 categories in Millard County. Every listing names its source; ring ahead before you rely on one.

Delta holds the Extension office for Millard County, rather than the county seat at Fillmore, which is worth knowing before you drive. Weatherization and heating help come from the R6 Regional Council in Richfield, over the mountains to the east. Millard is farming country in its irrigated western half and empty desert beyond, and the questions a landowner brings here are usually about water rights, grazing and range fire rather than timber.

Free

Free, from US Fish and Wildlife Service

Free technical and financial assistance to private landowners for voluntary habitat restoration: wetlands, uplands and riparian work.

The fear people have about a federal habitat agreement is the one this programme answers in terms. You keep every property right you have, and you are not required to let the public onto your land. You go on owning and managing the ground while the work is done, the project is voluntary and shaped around what you want, and both technical help and money are free to you. The commitment is time rather than control: projects run for a minimum of ten years.

Who qualifies Serves raw, undeveloped land. The landowner keeps all property rights and no public access is required; agreements run a 10 year minimum.

How to apply Contact the California state coordinator via fws.gov/program/partners-fish-and-wildlife.

Why Sierra Log & Timber cares about your vacant land

Sierra Log & Timber mills cedar log and timber home packages in Chico, California. A good part of our working week is spent with people who have just bought land, and the same thing happens every time: the grants, the chipping days, the defensible space visits and the permit desks are all real, and all scattered across a dozen county websites that do not link to one another. So we put them in one place and left it open. You do not have to be building a log home to use this, and reading it signs you up for nothing.

Nothing local is recorded for Millard County yet. What is on this page reaches it from the Utah and national listings above, which is worth knowing before you ring anybody: the help is real, but the desk answering is not in the county. We would rather say that than pad the page. If you know of something here that belongs on it, the second panel below is the fastest way to tell us.

Common questions

Does Sierra Log & Timber run any of these programmes?

No. Every organisation and programme on this page is run by somebody else: a county office, a state agency, a nonprofit, a utility or a tribe. We collect them, check them and publish them, and that is the whole of our part in it. What we do ourselves is mill cedar log and timber home packages in Chico, California.

Is this free to use, and does using it sign me up for anything?

The directory is free and reading it signs you up for nothing. The two panels below are the only places on this page that ask for an address, both are optional, and they do different jobs: one tells you when this county's listings change, the other tells us that something here is already wrong.

Email me when this page changes

Numbers change and programmes run out of money. Leave an address and it is held against the Millard County page so you can be told when a listing here is added, changed or removed. No account.

What is stored is your address and which county page you left it on, and nothing else: no name, no location, nothing about what you read. It is used for that one notification and for nothing else, it appears nowhere on this site, and this site cannot read the list back. Nothing has been sent to any address yet, because the notices are not built; when they are, every message will say how to stop them.

Something on this page is wrong?

Numbers change, offices move and programmes run out of money. If something on this page is wrong, tell us and a person will check it.

What you send goes to the people who maintain this directory and appears nowhere on this site. Your email is used to reply to you and for nothing else.
