California Forests and the CalFire Vegetation Treatment Program

By: Andrea Williams, CNPS Director of Plant Science

California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (aka CAL FIRE)’s proposed program to
treat vegetation on public and private land across California to improve public safety,
protect natural resources, and reduce fire suppression costs. CNPS Chapters have the
opportunity to build local relationships to ensure the work is environmentally sound and
based on the best fire science.
Andrea Williams has two decades of experience in science-based public lands
management: monitoring rare plants and plant communities, carrying out project
compliance surveys, mapping and removing invasive plants, and planning and
overseeing fuel reduction projects.
