Golden State Natural Resources Update
As design and CEQA decisions shift into high gear Golden State Natural Resources (GSNR) staff has been on the road working with forest industry land managers, private forest owners and the full cross section in-forest workers and truckers. Team members participated in conferences in Reno, Anderson, and Ukiah specifically for those professionals who actually do the logging and thinning. The team continues to develop valuable relationships which will assist in growing the workforce needed to make GSNR successful in its mission to dramatically expand the acres of California forest treated for forest health and sustainability.
Team members have also begun a concerted effort to engage tribal representatives in the GSNR planning and scoping process. Information and experience from the tribes, Resource Conservation Districts and Fire Safe Councils is invaluable as we grow partnerships which actually allow all parties to further their mission.
GSNR has become an active member in CA Forestry Association and American Forestry Resource Council (AFRC), two of the country’s premier voices for sustainable forest management.
