Water, Air and Soil
The purpose of the watershed, air, and geologic resource management program is to provide clean water for instream values for public and private downstream water users; ensure that geologic information is considered when activities are planned and implemented; and provide technical resource support for various Forest activities.
This work includes activities related to management of water quality, water supply, soil quality and productivity, geology and geomorphology. In addition, program staff actively participate in a variety of management, monitoring, data collection, restoration, compliance, and support activities. The Shasta-Trinity conducts watershed condition and restoration activities to protect sensitive forest resources from erosion and sedimentation.
