Sierra Club California's Role In Sustainable Forestry

California's Board of Forestry makes the rules governing logging and fire protection on over 37 million acres of land in California. Sierra Club California is the only statewide environmental organization that is a consistent voice at the Board of Forestry meetings.

Our presence ensures fire protection efforts won’t harm the environment and focuses on creating defensible spaces around homes and communities. We're also leading the charge to reform California’s logging rules to protect endangered salmon and other vanishing species, and restore degraded watersheds.
