General Disclaimer

The information provided on gowforestry.com (the "Site") is for general informational and educational purposes only. While Gow Forestry strives to provide accurate and current information, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the Site or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the Site.

Wildfire Mitigation & Defensible Space

No wildfire mitigation service, defensible space treatment, fuel load reduction, or related vegetation management can guarantee prevention of wildfire damage, structure loss, or property damage.

Wildfire behavior is inherently unpredictable and influenced by factors beyond any property owner's or service provider's control, including but not limited to: wind speed and direction, ambient temperature and humidity, fuel moisture levels, topography, ember transport distance, the availability and response time of firefighting resources, and conditions on neighboring properties.

Services described on this Site—including forestry mulching, defensible space zone management, ladder fuel reduction, and lot clearing—are designed to reduce risk probability, not eliminate it. References to "improved odds," "enhanced survivability," or "fire-resistant zones" describe general risk-reduction concepts consistent with published wildfire science and should not be interpreted as guarantees of any outcome.

Property owners should maintain comprehensive property and structure insurance and consult with qualified fire safety professionals for site-specific assessments.

DNR Cost-Share Programs

All references to Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) cost-share programs—including reimbursement rates, tier classifications, eligible practices, acreage limits, maintenance requirements, and funding availability—are based on publicly available information at the time of content creation and are subject to change without notice.

Gow Forestry is not a government agency and does not administer, fund, approve, or guarantee any DNR program or reimbursement. All final determinations regarding eligibility, tier assignment, approved practices, reimbursement amounts, and program participation are made exclusively by the administering government agency.

The DNR Cost-Share Calculator on this Site provides rough planning estimates only. Calculator outputs are not quotes, bids, offers, or guarantees of any amount. Actual costs, eligible amounts, and reimbursements may differ materially from calculator results. Users should verify all program details directly with Washington DNR or the applicable administering agency.

Testimonials & Customer Reviews

Testimonials and reviews displayed on this Site reflect individual customer experiences, opinions, and perceptions. They are not guaranteed, verified, or representative of all customer outcomes. Results vary depending on property conditions, project scope, environmental factors, and other variables unique to each situation.

Testimonials may have been lightly edited for grammar, clarity, or length. No compensation was provided in exchange for testimonials unless otherwise disclosed.

Educational & Informational Content

Articles, guides, FAQs, and other educational content on this Site are provided for informational planning purposes. This content does not constitute professional advice from a licensed forester, fire scientist, attorney, accountant, or other licensed professional.

Fire behavior data, historical wildfire references, ecological descriptions, and scientific claims presented on the Site are sourced from publicly available information and general industry knowledge. Specific citations are not provided for all statements. Readers should independently verify information relevant to their decisions.

Permits & Regulatory Information

General statements on the Site regarding permit requirements (including statements that "most projects do not require a permit") are intended as directional guidance only. Actual requirements depend on jurisdiction, parcel location, proximity to waterways or critical areas, slope conditions, forest practice rules (WAC 222), county ordinances, and other regulations.

Property owners bear sole responsibility for obtaining all required permits and ensuring regulatory compliance before, during, and after any work. Gow Forestry assists with identifying potential requirements during site assessment but does not assume legal responsibility for permit compliance.

Such references do not imply endorsement, affiliation, partnership, or sponsorship by or with those organizations.

Photographs & Visual Content

Photographs on this Site depict actual project work or representative conditions. Before-and-after images illustrate typical results but are not guarantees of identical outcomes on your property, as results vary based on vegetation type, density, terrain, soil conditions, and project scope.
