In response to the historic California wildfire season of 2020, Governor Newsom’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force released California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan (Plan) in 2021. The Plan introduces a comprehensive framework for establishing healthy and resilient forests that can withstand and adapt to wildfire, drought, and a changing climate.
Controlled Burn, Mountain Fire TrailIn the Plan, State Parks is specifically called upon to:
- Scale up prescribed fire and fuel reduction programs;
- Expand collaboration with neighboring landowners and agencies to promote resilient and healthy forests at a landscape scale;
- Increase outreach and education to share best practices that support ecosystem services; and
- Implement an effective monitoring program to gather information on the ecological benefits of these practices.
