Join us for a free morning workshop at the California Forest Science Symposium (CFSS)!

CAL FIRE FRAP and the CFSC will host a morning workshop at the California Forest Science Symposium on February 19th in Sacramento titled Institutional Reform for Forest Management. Building on the 2024 Forest Health and Wildfire Research Scoping Workshop and the 2025 session, Planning Prescribed Fires at Landscape Scales, this year’s workshop shifts focus from identifying problems and solutions to understanding why proven approaches remain difficult to implement. While individual treatments have demonstrated local benefits, progress has not yet translated into meaningful, landscape-level change. This workshop aims to examine persistent institutional barriers, explore innovative perspectives on scaling forest management and beneficial fire, and better understand why emerging opportunities for action are not being fully realized within existing frameworks.

Registration is required. Visit the conference website linked below for more information.
