The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) has awarded $160 million for landscape-scale land management projects intended to restore and
maintain healthy forests throughout California while enhancing carbon storage. The grants were awarded by CAL FIRE’s Forest Health and Forest Legacy programs to local and regional partners and collaboratives implementing forest treatment and conservation activities on state, local, tribal, federal, and private lands. This year’s funded projects are distributed among 27 counties covering the length of California, from Siskiyou County to San Diego County. A map of projects is posted on the Forest Health webpage.

The Eastern Sierra Climate & Community Resilience Project (ESCCRP) was awarded nearly $5,000,000 for Phase 1 Implementation. The Phase 1 Implementation will commence on the ground activities for the ESCCRP by performing treatment on 2,156
acres within the project area. The ESCCRP is a collaborative landscape scale forest
restoration project aiming to reduce the risk of landscape scale high severity wildfire and restore resilience to 55,000 acres of declining forest stands surrounding the Town of Mammoth Lakes. View the project area by clicking HERE.
