Forestry & Natural Resources
University of California Cooperative Extension Forestry provides research-based solutions to natural resource related problems through applied research, publications, meetings, conferences, workshops, demonstrations, field days, newsletters, video programs, and facilitation.
County Advisors are local advisers focused on delivering science based programs to serve forested communities. Advisors extend university resources and information to local communities and advocate community needs to University of California researchers and administration. For immediate help, please reach out to your local forest advisor, or Ask an Expert in the Cooperative Extension network.
Wildfire Resources
The UC ANR Fire Network is a statewide team with expertise across a wide range of disciplines, including fire science and ecology, prescribed fire, home hardening and defensible space, community and regional planning, grazing and fire interactions, fire recovery, and much more. The Network includes specialists on UC campuses, advisors and staff in local communities, and broad networks of partners and volunteers. The goal of the Fire Network is to inspire and empower Californians, connecting them to the research, training, and tools they need to live with fire in California.
The Forestry Institute for Teachers brings K-12 educators from throughout California to Shasta County for a week-long crash course in forest ecology and management. The teachers develop curriculum for their students in other communities far removed from- but heavily dependent upon- water, air, and products derived from forests.
