Regional Strategic Priorities
The Pacific Southwest Region's Leadership Team, comprised of Forest Supervisors, Regional Program Directors, and the Regional Forester, meet regularly to discuss and identify the issues of greatest importance to the Forest Service in California. The Regional Leadership Team has identified three strategic priorities that will guide the Region through 2024 and beyond.
The Pacific Southwest Region's Strategic Priorities are:
- Wildfire Crisis Strategy/Shared Stewardship Agreement
- Post-Fire Recovery and Disaster Relief
- Visitor Experiences and Public Access
These priorities are not meant to serve as an exhaustive list of everything we do. The annual work associated with regional and national forest operations are necessary and will continue to impact workforce capacity and capability. Zone and unit line officers are empowered to balance this work in concert with the priorities to sustain the health of our workforce.
Wildfire Crisis Strategy/Shared Stewardship Agreement (Fuels Reduction and Forest Resiliency)
Addressing conditions on the landscape to mitigate wildfire risk to communities, infrastructure, and watersheds.
Post-Fire Recovery and Disaster Relief
Providing for immediate needs of landscapes and communities in the wake of wildfires, natural disasters, and other emergency incidents.
Visitor Experiences and Public Access
Ensuring that all those who set foot on National Forest System lands feel welcomed and have broad opportunities to recreate in sustainable ways.
