CAL FIRE partners and cooperators, including land managers like United
States Forest Service and community-based organizations like Resource
Conservation Districts and Fire Safe Councils are essential to completing
fuels reduction work at a landscape scale.
The Federal Government owns and
manages 57% of the State’s forested
lands. In addition to grant agreements,
California uses Good Neighbor
Authority agreements to implement
fuels reduction on federal lands. A
Good Neighbor Authority agreement
was signed between the California
Natural Resources Agency and the
United States Forest Service, allowing
the Forest Service to enter project
agreements using state funds and
resources to perform forest, rangeland
and watershed restoration services on
Forest Service lands.
The Craggy Vegetation Management
Project (“Craggy Project”) is a Good
Neighbor Authority project developed
by the Klamath National Forest,
CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit and the Yreka
Fire Safe Council to better protect
local communities from wildfire and
improve forest health, wildlife and plant
habitats, and watershed conditions
within the project area.
