Welcome to the on-line world of California forests. The issues and decisions that affect our private and public forests play a vital role in the daily lives of all of us whether we know it or not. Can you imagine your life without wood and paper, or a world without forests?

I hope you'll find our site interesting and informative and that it inspires you to learn even more about California forests, the people who care for them and the products that we depend on. It's loaded with additional links to other sites that can provide greater detail on a variety of issues.

Most of all, please keep coming back. We'll be adding new information and features and would like you to consider this your primary source for accurate information about our forest environment.
