These facilities are expected to further the goals of GSNR to provide for forest resilience and reduce wildfire risk by utilizing forest residues and excess small trees and roundwood.

This effort is also expected to spur economic opportunities in rural areas.

In more open habitats, aerial surveys provide an efficient and rapid method of data collection, affording CDFW biologists the ability to cover larger areas in relatively shorter time periods.

CDFW scientists use the survey data in statistical models to estimate the total population size of each species in different hunt zones or management units. This information helps wildlife managers better understand population performance relative to a variety of factors including climate change, habitat quality, human-wildlife conflict and habitat fragmentation, among others.

Results are also used to make regulated harvest recommendations to the California Fish and Game Commission, which is the state regulatory authority that adopts tag quotas, hunting seasons and zone boundaries.

These efforts are important for managing California’s wildlife populations and are especially critical due to recent harsh winter conditions that may have had negative impacts on population numbers.

Big game hunters and other members of the public are encouraged to participate in the commission’s annual regulatory cycles. Information regarding upcoming meetings, including dates, locations, background documents and virtual meeting links are available at the California Fish and Game Commission website.

The scholarship is awarded to a high school senior graduating from, or who has graduated from, a Lassen County High School pursuing an agriculture or agri-business career. The award will be based on leadership skills, a demonstrated commitment to the industry, grades and financial need.

Finalists will be notified of the date, time, and place of an interview.
