The Forest Carbon Plan considers opportunities to reverse recent significant impacts associated with climate change over the past eight years and firmly establish California’s forests as a more resilient and reliable long-term carbon sink, rather than a greenhouse gas and black carbon emission source.  The plan provides multiple strategies to promote healthy and resilient wildland and urban forests that protect and enhance forest carbon and the broader range of public benefits from all forests in California.  It emphasizes working collaboratively at the watershed or landscape scale to restore resilience to all forestlands in the state.
