Forestry Research and Outreach

UC Cooperative Extension Forestry Research and Outreach delivers science-based resources to support the ecology and stewardship of California’s forestlands. 

Through a statewide network of UC Cooperative Extension forestry experts, we provide practical, research-based solutions to natural resource challenges—drawing from more than 50 years of forestry research, education, and outreach. Our programs and resources help residents, landowners, and professionals sustain healthy, resilient forest ecosystems across California.

Programs UC regularly hosts trainings and workshops to support landowners, managers, and the general public build their understanding of forestry issues and best management practices.
