Division of Forestry

Wildfire prevention and suppression are key components in our efforts to protect homeowners from the threat of damage in a natural, fire-dependent environment. We are dedicated to training individuals to meet these goals.

In addition to managing over one million acres of State Forests for multiple public uses including timber, recreation and wildlife habitat, we also provide services to landowners throughout the state with technical information and grant programs.

Our goal is to provide you with information about programs which are implemented by our Field Operations fire and forest resource staff in 15 field units across the state.

Questions?

• Ask your County Forester about services that are available to property owners.
• Call your local Division of Forestry office to report a wildfire or get a burning authorization.
