The Path to Healthy Headwater Forests

Virtual Event

February 11, 2021 · 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

ONLINE-ONLY EVENT

About the Program

California’s headwater forests are increasingly vulnerable to major wildfires and droughts that threaten the benefits they provide. Proactive forest management must be greatly increased to reduce these risks—but this will require a heavy lift from private and public entities.

Join the PPIC Water Policy Center and state and federal experts for a discussion on ramping up forest management efforts in the headwaters.

This event is supported with funding from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation.
