Natural Resource Management

NDF manages state protected plants, logging operations, forest insects and diseases, wildfire fuel loads and biomass utilization, conservation education, wildfire rehabilitation, ecosystem restoration, and provides required plant materials. Specialized programming is also provided for in sensitive ecosystems such as the Lake Tahoe Basin and those occupied by sagebrush.

NDF trains, mentors, guides, and educates cooperators and the public to gain knowledge and understanding of natural resource management concepts, processes and practices to support statewide natural resource management.

NDF achieves ecosystem-wide management and restoration to create and sustain resilient landscapes by building cooperator relationships, collaborating on project plans and priorities with cooperators, and identifying sources of support for cooperators to achieve common objectives and shared stewardship of natural resources.
