Virtual Services
While Six Rivers National Forest offices remain closed to protect the health and safety of employees and members of the public during the COVID-19 outbreak in accordance with guidance from federal and state authorities, virtual services are available.
To raise awareness on how everyone can do their part to prevent unwanted wildfires from threatening our communities, the Six Rivers National Forest has joined forces with CAL FIRE Humboldt-Del Norte County Unit, Humboldt County Fire Safe Council, Hoopa Fire Department and Office of Emergency Services, and the Yurok Tribe Wildland Fire Program to sponsor the 3rd edition of Living with Wildfire in Northwestern California.
Great American Outdoors Act projects will address critical deferred maintenance and improve transportation and recreation infrastructure on national forests.
