Forest Assistance Opportunities

JSWCD staff are available to provide technical assistance related to forest health and management, wildfire resiliency, and post-fire restoration, as well as riparian restoration if you have a stream or creek running through your forested land. At times, JSWCD may also have financial assistance opportunities related to forest health and riparian restoration.
