Expert guidance and research-based solutions.
University of California Cooperative Extension's forestry network provides research-based solutions to natural resource related problems.
Our team extends university resources and information to local communities and translates the needs of local communities for forest research and outreach back to University of California researchers and administration.
- Forestry and Natural Resource Advisors are county-based academics located in forested communities and focus on delivering science based programs to serve the needs of local forest landowners, land managers, and members of the community.
- Cooperative Extension Specialists are academics currently based at University of California Campuses throughout the state.
Find a list of current Advisors, CE Specialists, and other staff on our Team page.
We offer forestry and natural resource education for all Californians: landowners, resource managers, educators, and more.
Our team publishes research papers, hosts workshops and demonstrations, and records webinars on the forestry issues that matter to California. From post-fire forest management guidance to forestry outdoor education, we aim to serve community members at all stages of learning.
