Wildfire Funding Gets a Head Start

In partnership with the legislature, Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed a $536 million early action wildfire package to give the state a head start on projects to restore the ecological health of forests and watersheds, fuel breaks and home hardening for at-risk communities, and improvements to defensible space to mitigate wildfire damage.

Newsom is expanding and refocusing the Forest Management Task Force to deliver on key commitments in the wildfire and forest resilience action plan issued in January. The wildfire and forest resilience task force of federal, local and tribal leaders builds on the state’s collaborative effort to improve the health of forests and reduce wildfire risk to communities.
