Where the West Still Lives

A vast expanse of contrasts and unspoiled settings for a vacation hideaway nestled in the extreme northeastern corner of California. The diverse topography ranges from the volcanic Cascades, to the wild and scenic Warner Mountains with forests, range, and the Devil's Garden in between.

Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscapes

In January 2022, the Forest Service launched a robust, 10-year strategy to address the wildfire crisis in the places where it poses the most immediate threats to communities. The strategy, called “Confronting the Wildfire Crisis: A Strategy for Protecting Communities and Improving Resilience in America’s Forests,” (leer en español) combines a historic investment of congressional funding with years of scientific research and planning into a national effort that will dramatically increase the scale and pace of forest health treatments over the next decade. Through the strategy, the agency will work with states, Tribes, and other partners to address wildfire risks to critical infrastructure, protect communities, and make forests more resilient.
