Fuels Reduction | CAL FIRE
Track the progress of projects funded this year and last fiscal year.
CAL FIRE Fuels Reduction Viewer Video Guide CAL FIRE Fuels Reduction Viewer for Mobile Devices
Treatment acres reported in CAL FIRE’s Fuel Reduction Projects Viewer may differ from those displayed in the California Wildfire & Forestry Resilience Task Force Dashboard. CAL FIRE’s Viewer reports by the state fiscal year (July-June), only includes treatments related to fuels reduction, and includes work measured in units such as hours and tons. The Task Force Dashboard is based on calendar year, includes a wider suite of activities, such as tree planting, and only reports work measured in acres.
California Wildfire & Forestry Resilience Task Force Dashboard

Fuels Treatment Effectiveness Reports

Almost every day, CAL FIRE, our partners, and grantees are conducting hazards fuels reduction work through prescribed fire, manual and mechanical treatments. These efforts result in modified vegetation that change fire behavior, reduce impacts to ecosystems, and promote community resilience.  Fuels Treatment Effectiveness Reports showcase how these fuels reduction efforts not only assist firefighters in suppression efforts, but also how fuels treatments protect the life, property, and natural resources of California.

Reforestation Services Program

 Reforestation Services Program
The L.A. Moran Reforestation Center, 5800 Chiles Road, Davis, CA 95618

California has been devastated in recent years by catastrophic wildfires, changing the landscape of forests and wildlands, our homes and lives. As fires sweep through the state, keeping our forests healthy and wildfire resilient is more important than ever. Growing enough trees to meet the increasing need is our highest priority—and future seedlings will contribute to the strength and restoration of the state’s forestlands. 
The Reforestation Services Program (RSP) serves all California forestlands by providing resources to protect and restore disturbed and degraded forests, maximizing their values, enhancing ecosystem functions, and increasing resiliency from climatic impacts.
SEEDLING REQUESTS ARE OPEN FOR THE 2025 GROWING SEASON. Requests will be accepted until we've reached capacity. 
Seed orders will re-open in September 2024.

 About the Program
 

Who We Are
The L.A. Moran Reforestation Center has a long-standing history of serving California. Established in 1921, the Reforestation Center has been growing tree seedlings since its inception 100 years ago.
Fires Near Yosemite
This leads to more severe fires that tend to burn hotter, spread faster, and cause more harm than lower-intensity fires.”
Intentional or “prescribed” fires have played a key role in limiting the spread of both fires this month. Yosemite National Park biologist Garrett Dickman told The Atlantic that decades of prescribed fires in Mariposa Grove have cleared out enough underbrush and small trees that the Washburn fire could not spread north into prized groves of sequoias in Yosemite. The fire instead moved east into areas that have not been burned recently.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image of smoke from the Oak fire streaming northeast on July 23, 2022. According to reporting from Wildfire Today, firefighters may have been able to get better control of the Oak fire when it approached an area that was burned in 2018 by the Ferguson fire. With less fuel on the ground, the rate and intensity of the fire’s spread slowed, allowing firefighters to marshal more effective defenses.
“We can’t continue to manage our forests with a ‘postcard ecology’ in mind,” said Keith Weber, a remote sensing ecologist at Idaho State University and a NASA applied sciences advisor. “We can’t continue with the mentality that a given forest looks so perfect, so nice that it should be on a postcard, and we can’t ever let it change one bit. After a fire, an area should look different and maybe even a bit ugly.”

July 24, 2022

An interagency team has begun assessing lands burned by the Washburn fire to determine how to repair damaged infrastructure and how to protect natural and cultural resources that face increased risk of erosion and flooding. The photograph above shows a fire recovery expert testing soil in an area affected by the fire, which was 87 percent contained as of July 25.

The 2024-25 Budget: CalFire—Implementation of a 66-Hour Workweek
Responding to these large and severe wildfires has imposed significant burdens on firefighters—many of whom have been required to work long stretches without breaks. This, in turn, has led to concerns about the mental and physical health and wellness of the firefighters who are on the frontlines of these events. These issues have been highlighted in the media—such as in a series of articles published in 2022 by CalMatters.
Legislature Has Taken Various Actions to Respond to Concerns. The Legislature has taken a number of actions in response to these growing concerns, including to improve the health and wellness of firefighters. For example, in the 2020‑21 and 2022‑23 budgets, the Legislature approved proposals—totaling roughly $170 million per year on an ongoing basis—to provide relief staffing for CalFire. The main goal of these augmentations was to reduce the strain on firefighters by making it easier for them to take time off, such as for vacations and training activities. (We discuss these staffing expansions in further detail later in this brief.) Also, as part of the 2019‑20 budget, the Legislature approved a proposal that provided $9 million annually and 25 positions to augment various employee health and wellness programs at CalFire.
In recent years, the Legislature also has approved various increases in fire response capacity more broadly, such as adding new fire crews at CalFire and partner agencies and funding new helicopters and other aircraft. (We summarize many of these augmentations in our 2022 publications, The 2022‑23 Budget: Wildfire Response Proposals and The 2022‑23 California Spending Plan: Resources and Environmental Protection.) By augmenting fire response capacity, the state provided resources to enable CalFire to respond more quickly and forcefully to wildfires. This, in turn, was intended to help keep fires from growing and exacerbating, thereby avoiding placing more severe strains on firefighters.
Forest Stewardship | CAL FIRE
Fire consumes organic matter, releasing greenhouse gases including CO2, methane, carbon monoxide, and other materials. Trees and plants not immediately consumed in the fire may be killed and decompose rapidly, releasing CO2. 
Although fire produces carbon emissions, it is also a natural and necessary part of the ecosystem, especially in California where plants are adapted to fire. Rather than eliminate fire, the goal is to maintain historical fire regimes and thus avoid catastrophic fires that occur when fuels build up to unnatural levels.

Biomass to energy
In a win-win for both the forest and the atmosphere, thinning's from overstocked forests can be burned to produce energy. Generating electricity in a biomass plant reduces our demand for fossil fuels while at the same time reducing wildfire hazard. The rising price of electricity is rapidly reaching the point where biomass is more financially feasible, and utilities are looking to biomass as an important part of their renewable energy portfolio. Concern for national energy security is also driving research on cost-effective means to convert wood to ethanol.

Wood products
Wood products are another major carbon pool. A pound of wood contains about a half pound of carbon. Products made out of wood can retain their carbon stores for varying lengths of time, until they decompose or burn. Some products, such as homes, may last for a hundred years while other wood products retain their carbon for much shorter periods. 
Expanding the use of wood products is a climate-friendly strategy since steel, plastic, aluminum, and concrete require much more energy to manufacture and produce much higher greenhouse gas emissions.

Should we care? 
The earth as a whole is warming. But the term global warming isn’t quite accurate. Not all areas will get warmer. Some will be colder, some will be wetter or drier, there may be more storms, or more intense weather events. While no one knows exactly what will occur where, climate change is now well-acknowledged as a threat to our economy, environment, and health. 
In California, predicted effects include reduction in the Sierra snowpack, reduced water quantity and quality, sea level rise, coastal erosion, increases in infectious diseases and other health problems, and changes in natural ecosystems including forests.

How can we increase carbon sequestration in forests?

Wildfire Resilience in Sonoma County Regional Parks

Wildfire prevention, preparation and response
are part of Sonoma County Regional Parks’ ongoing stewardship across our
15,000-acre, 50-plus park system, as wildfire has become increasingly common
throughout Sonoma County, California and the West.Wildfire behavior is controlled by three
factors: fuels, weather and topography. Therefore, the only practical way to
modify fire behavior is by managing its fuel source. (Fuel refers to anything
that could burn and spread fire, like trees, shrubs and dried grass.)

How we are working to help our communities 
Prescribed fire
A prescribed fire or controlled burn is a fire that is intentionally set under specific conditions.

 Environmental Protection Program

CAL FIRE's mission includes protecting California's resources-- not only from natural disaster, but from the direct and indirect impacts that may arise from the Department's actions. CAL FIRE's own activities, as well as those it approves, permits, funds or otherwise facilitates, may impact the environment, and are therefore subject to environmental review. The Environmental Protection Program strives to provide protection to the resources of the state through its sub-program areas. For comments or concerns please contact SacramentoPublicComment@fire.ca.gov. 

 The Environmental Protection Program's Mission

The Environmental Protection Program strives to ensure that:

State and Federal environmental laws are observed
Forested landscapes are managed wisely
The state's varied biological resources are enhanced
Water quality is protected and maintained
The state's archaeological, historical and tribal cultural resources are protected
California's wildlands are managed to minimize and offset climate change effects
The state's woody biomass resource is efficiently utilized

When CAL FIRE decides to approve, permit, fund, or carry out a project that may effect the environment, its decision is subject to disclosure and review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
