Mountain Counties Water Resources Association (MCWRA) submitted a letter to State Legislators in support of proposed Budget Trailer Bill amendments to streamline forest fuels management projects on federal lands. MCWRA has long recognized the significant threat that wildfire has upon mountain county residents, infrastructure, and water and recreation resources. Moreover, when wildfire devastates the landscape of California’s forested watershed, the impacts to our overall water system are felt statewide. Streamlining and expediting forest fuels management projects on federal lands are critical to reducing and avoiding future catastrophic wildfires and protecting California’s water supply.
