First Public FCAT Meeting Announced
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) announced the first in a series of public meetings to brief the public and take comment on the work of the Forest Climate Action Team, also known as FCAT. FCAT is comprised of representatives from several state and federal agencies, including CAL FIRE, the California Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, the USDA Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. FCAT also includes RCRC and CSAC to represent county government interests. FCAT members have been working to identify opportunities for greenhouse gas emissions reductions from projects related to forest management, fuels reduction, biomass, and other forestry-related activities, as well as trying to identify funding sources for those activities.
