If you are interested in land management in California, I encourage you to visit (and join!) OurForestPlace.com. From the website:
The idea for OurForestPlace came about when a group of Forest Service planners were brought together to create a regional assessment for California that embraces the intent of the Proposed 2011 Planning Rule and the groundswell of collaborative efforts throughout the region. This group of planners realized early on that the traditional assessment product – a static document informed by public and stakeholder involvement only at limited, predefined points – restricts its very usefulness and success. We needed to shift the focus from the product to the process. Through consultation with federal, state, local government and non-government groups it became clear that a successful assessment is the by-product of a robust, collaborative process.
Get involved in YOUR California!
