Task Force Releases Draft Wildfire and Landscape Resilience Plan
Published Friday, July 31, 2026
The California Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force has released its draft Wildfire and Landscape Resilience Action Plan, outlining strategies to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest health across California through 2031. The draft plan is available for public review here.
California Farm Bureau submitted comments supporting the plan's emphasis on expanding timber harvesting, prescribed grazing and biomass markets while recommending several improvements. Farm Bureau urged the task force to ensure the plan's treatment acreage goals fully recognize the role of private timberlands, establish firm timelines for streamlining overlapping Timber Harvest Plan reviews, recognize the Forest Practice Act as sufficient environmental review for timber operations and ensure private landowners have direct access to new block grant funding programs. The public comment period closes Aug. 7.
