The UCF program is comprised of a Program Manager, six Regional Urban Foresters, and two Sacramento staff supporting the following grant program volume:

Demonstration State Forests: • Boggs Mountain staff and a subject matter expert working group are updating the

Management Plan and Initial Study. The draft Management Plan and Initial Study documents are due to be completed in March 2018.

• Engineer Don Lindsay from the California Geological Survey will complete the engineering designs for a new bridge on Soquel Demonstration State Forest. The bridge will be part of a THP for the Longridge area.

• On Latour Demonstration State Forest, staff continue to work on the approval of the “Boucher THP” in the Cutter Meadow area. Work is also ongoing on the 2018 Management Plan Revision and 2017 Annual Report. Christmas tree sales were up this year due to low snow levels, with a total of 171 trees sold to date.

• The lack of rainfall at Jackson Demonstration State Forest has limited the sampling for the alder fungus study as well as movement of salmon and steelhead into Jackson DSF streams. It did allow for the final hardwood treatment of the North Fork End THP to take place on December 8th.

The Porter Timber Sale was sold on December 5th to Conrad Forest Products. The winning bid for redwood was $1,392.96/MBF. The price for Douglas-fir and whitewoods was fixed at $100/MBF.

Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP): • FRAP anticipates release of the Forests and Rangelands Assessment 2017 by late

February.

• FRAP staff contributed to the recently completed 1504 report on forest carbon. Staff is working on updated FIA data tables (200+ tables) and a 1504 report that will estimate carbon stored in wood products.

• FRAP staff is assisting Tree Mortality Task Force (TMTF) to update High Hazard Zones

using recently released Aerial Detection Survey (ADS) data from USFS. California Forest Improvement Program (CFIP):

• Staff is working on a cap rate increase package to be presented to the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection at the April 2018 meeting.

• Several CFIP staff assisted with recent emergency incidents in December and early January, including assignments on the Thomas Fire and the Watershed Emergency Response Team.

Forest Legacy: • Brook Darley is representing California on a national panel in Washington DC. In

December, 50 projects from across the nation where ranked, with California submitting 3 projects for Federal funding consideration. Yearly monitoring requirements for conservation easements was completed for 2017 in December with monitoring of Baxter Ranch in Sonoma County. Final closing documentation has been prepared for the Jolly Giant Project and Rainbow Ridge, both projects funded out of CAL FIRE’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

Forest Pest Management: • In Orange County, 22 beetles were found on an insect trap and 6 infested Coast Live

Oaks were found in the area between Falcon Ridge and Blue Jay Campground in the El Cariso area of the Trabuco Ranger District, Cleveland National Forest. This is the first discovery of GSOB outside of Weir Canyon in Orange County. It is approximately 27 air miles from the Weir Canyon infestation to the Blue Jay/Falcon Campground infestation; to date, no discoveries of GSOB have been made in the intervening area between. This raises the possibility the new infestation is tied to the movement of firewood.

• In Riverside County, a positive trap was found with 2 beetles at the El Cariso campground and no infested Coast Live Oak trees have been found, but more thorough surveys are occurring. The USFS El Cariso Campground is located adjacent to Highway 74 (Ortega Highway) right at the border between Orange and Riverside Counties. Private homes are also scattered around the area. Forest Pest Specialists are working with the CAL FIRE Riverside Unit to expand the GSOB ZOI for the El Cariso area.

• The USDA California Climate Hub published a fact sheet that summarizes the research presented at the July 2017 Drought and Tree Mortality Science and Management Symposium. The Climate Hub crafted this product to be informational as well as educational and useful to resource and forest managers and associated stakeholders and clients.

• CA Senator Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) introduced the Wildfire Safety and Recovery Act to promote fire prevention efforts and ensure Californians can continue to obtain insurance after a record-setting storm of wildfires. risk, which includes home improvements, vegetation management and volunteer efforts.

CAIRS (California All Incident Reporting System Program)

• Completing the review of the 2016 Redbook (Historical Statistics Report).

• The CAIRS Program has continued outreach to fire departments who have fallen behind or have never reported their NFIRS data to OSFM. Because of this effort, the CAIRS Program was able to submit an additional 470,524 incidents from 2016 to USFA for their annual statistics report. This number represents a 21% increase in reported incidents over the previous year and included an additional 20 fire departments. The total number of submitted California incidents for 2016 is now well over 2.5 million. With our support, the 2016 Federal NFIRS Program had a record setting year with more than 26 million incidents imported into the National Database.

Cooperative Fire Program

Conservation Camp Program

• CAL FIRE, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and the California Conservations Corps will be working closely together to plan and implement the proposed Ventura Training Center in the Governor’s January 10 Proposed Budget. This working group will look at all aspects of implementing a program for parolee firefighters to obtain in depth training and education in firefighting within this 18-month program. At the end of the 18-months, successful firefighters should have all the training necessary through the Office of the State Fire Marshal, State Fire Training Program, to be competitive for entry level firefighting positions in California. Transition date to fully implement the Ventura Training Center will be no later than October 1, 2018, in approved in the final budget.

• The statewide Conservation Camps population stats as of January 3, 2018:

o The current statewide shortage of fire crew members assigned to fire crews is 1,031. (A decrease of 50 from 981 as of December 20, 2017.)

o The inmate population stands at 80% (-3%) of capacity. o The fire crew capacity stands at 69% (-1%).

State-Federal Program • Staff are starting the process of meeting with the Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA) regarding the Fire Management Assistance Grants (FMAG) for the October and December wildland fires. FEMA has initiated a new database for auditing and payment processes.
