Timber Management, Fire Regimes & Wildfire Behavior
The CITE Plan Project will investigate the relationship between timber management, fire regimes and fire severity and their future regulatory incorporation by the California Board of Forestry and Fire Prevention (CalFire) into the Timber Harvest Plan (THP) permit process.
