Supervisors Advocate for Improved Forest Management in Sacramento

This week, RCRC Supervisors Jack Garamendi (Calaveras) and Bob Williams (Tehama) joined RCRC staff in Sacramento urging the Legislature and its Wildfire Preparedness & Response Legislative Conference Committee (Committee) to take much needed action in order to prevent and minimize future catastrophic wildfires. 

“RCRC has long advocated for an advancement in California’s forest management practices as the true solution to California’s wildland fire problem,” said Supervisor Garamendi. 

Last week, RCRC issued a four-page letter imploring the Legislature to take action on wildfire, explaining that the Committee’s focus on utility issues is circumventing the real root cause of the wildfire problems continually plaguing the state. 

“The Committee now has a unique opportunity to impact future wildfires by implementing real solutions that will help prevent loss of lives, destruction of property, and would honestly impact emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants,” said Supervisor Williams.
