Landscape Investment Strategy

The Sierra-Cascade’s forest health and wildfire crises have outpaced collective restoration efforts. In response, we are working toward the increased restoration goals set by California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force. The Sierra-Cascade Landscape Investment Strategy details the approach we have developed to meet the shared state and federal goals in our region.

Getting to Scale

Much of this strategy involves doing more of what we know works—providing local assistance grants, capacity-building support, and technical assistance to our local partners.

But it also includes something new, a Landscape Grant Pilot Program. Made possible by increased state and federal funding and cooperation, this program will give land managers a new tool that seeks to meet the wildfire crisis where it is occurring—at the landscape level.
