California Forest Management Task Force

California's Forest Management Task Force was organized to protect the environmental quality, public health, and economic benefits that healthy forests provide.

California’s wildfire & climate resilience goals require a multisolution approach. State leaders visited Dave Daley, a cattle rancher, to learn how localized strategies can work together to build #ClimateResilience & reduce wildfire risk.

As we get further into #California #wildfire season, we would like to acknowledge the hard work of our partners at @CAL_FIRE in their continued efforts to effectively manage state forestlands to prevent wildfires.

Forests and other wildlands will be a part of these ambitious plans and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires as a secondary but important benefit.

[California Natural Resources Agency @CalNatResources]

President Biden signed an Executive Order on climate change that includes plans to advance 30 by 30 nationwide. We’re excited to work with the Biden Administration to implement these policies in a thoughtful way in CA, and to provide a strong example of leadership to get it done.

A key component w/in the @CAgovernor's Wildfire & Forest Resilience Action Plan is increasing funding to tribal partners to expand cultural burning & other traditional forest health practices.

Lastly, thank you to the federal, local, tribal, regional and private organizations that invested time into creating this collaborative plan to align our efforts. This is a major step toward building wildfire and climate resilience in California.

[California Forest Management Task Force @CAForestHealth]

We are also thrilled to see a $1 billion investment in the @CAgovernor proposed 2021-2022 budget. This proposed funding would advance key priorities and fund early actions to protect communities, reduce wildfire risk, and jumpstart economic recovery in rural communities.

[California Forest Management Task Force @CAForestHealth]

We are very excited to share the release of CA’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan. This comprehensive action plan covers forested, natural and working lands, and will guide the Task Force and the state to 2025 and beyond. https://t.co/z0pIhVxtA0

After the Camp Fire, many landowners want to fight fire with fire https://t.co/T36FLB0Zsg

More acres of Sierra 🌲🦉🌳🌲have burned since 2010 than any other decade in over 100 years. 🔥 is not always bad but large high-severity 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥s like we saw in the last 10 years threaten communities and infrastructure and damage, rather than maintain, healthy 🌲🦉🌳🌲s.

This graphic novel gets a lot right, including that prescribed fire is an essential tool for managing North American forests, including those in the Sierra Nevada. h/t to @pyrogeog.

In 2014, the #KingFire ran15 miles overnight, burning an area 1.5x the size of San Francisco and leaving almost 50,000 acres of dead trees in its wake. Was this a new kind of fire? Watch our new video. https://t.co/AuE1sZUGjE #wildfire #restorethesierra #caforests

On 11/1/19, the Caples Fire was 100% contained. The fire was mostly kept within the original project boundaries and resulted in a historically characteristic burn pattern, creating diverse habitat for fire-adapted species to thrive.

[California Forest Management Task Force @CAForestHealth]

Forest management is a multi-agency challenge that requires a multi-solution response. The Forest Management Task Force is committed to bringing everyone to the table and using science to guide us as we work to restore our lands. https://t.co/dSBwu9Oy2F
