Event Overview
The California Forestry Sector Jobs Initiative is dedicated to promoting careers in forestry, with a focus on forest management, wildfire prevention, and sustainability. This initiative not only aims to address workforce gaps but also actively works to engage traditionally underrepresented communities, including women, minorities, and veterans. By providing resources on education, training, and career pathways, the initiative ensures more equitable access to forestry jobs, contributing to both community resilience and environmental stewardship across California. This initiative is funded by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). Learn more at caforestryworkforce.com.
