SHARED VISION THROUGH INCLUSIVE, MULTI-BENEFIT REGIONAL PLANNING
Engage with Regional Partners to Inform High Quality Planning and Implementation
We are seeking to develop a forest resiliency project description/design for the community to enhance local capacity for individual & group collaborative implementation project planning and to increase capacity for project funding. An RPF will collect & analyze existing data to determine conditions in our forest/watershed & recommend treatment & priorities to restore forest resiliency, increase creek flow, enhance biodiversity & protect the community from high-intensity wildfire. We plan to apply for the next available Cal Fire grant. To prepare for that grant application, we need to first craft a project description, get landowners on board & prioritize project areas and treatment types.
