Natural Resource Management
We protect and restore California wildlands—85 million acres of forests, watersheds, and wildlife habitat.
Conserving forests and improving forest health by significantly increasing fuels reduction, fire reintroduction, treatment of degraded areas and conservation of threatened forests with landscape-scale projects developed and led by regionally-based efforts.
The Forest Practice Rules are founded on well-established science which encourages a productive, fire resistant, healthy forest. CAL FIRE enforces the Rules on California timberlands to balance sustainable timber harvesting with the protection of our natural resources.
