Regional Forest and Fire Capacity Program
The Regional Forest and Fire Capacity Program seeks to increase regional capacity to prioritize, develop, and implement projects that improve forest health and fire resilience, facilitate greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and increase carbon sequestration in forests throughout California. Block grants will be utilized by recipients to support regional implementation of landscape-level forest health projects consistent with the California Forest Carbon Plan and Executive Order B-52-18.
On January 24, 2019 the Natural Resources Agency released for public comment the draft Regional Forest and Fire Capacity Program Guidelines. These guidelines and more information on the program can be found on the Department of Conservation’s webpage, and will be open for public comment through February 8, 2019.
