SHARED VISION THROUGH INCLUSIVE, MULTI-BENEFIT REGIONAL PLANNING
Engage with Regional Partners to Inform High Quality Planning and Implementation
The forested landscape of the Sonoma coast is characterized by overly dense timber stands and excess fuel loading. This area was damaged by wildfires in 54, 65, 78, and 2020. Following these fires, tanoak came back as the dominant tree vegetation type and is now being killed in significant numbers. These conditions continue to degrade the health of the region’s forests, rendering them vulnerable to wildfire and threatening the safety of communities and natural and cultural resources. Remedying these conditions requires a paradigm shift that focuses on landscape-level planning and long-term strategic coordination through partnerships and collaborations.
