SNFCI Regional Coordinating Council
The SNC will work with a Regional Coordinating Council to identify and address issues affecting forest health, fire and related economic development. Generally speaking, the Coordinating Council will focus on policy, investment and science and research issues that affect the success of the SNFCI. The SNC will also work to catalyze stakeholders to address these important issues in the Sierra Nevada by helping local collaborative efforts to convene, identify issues, develop projects and secure funds to implement projects and processes in local areas in support of the Initiative’s goals. SNC’s role is not to determine specific forest management practices and principles or local economic development strategies, but rather to assist parties within the Region in achieving collaboratively developed objectives.
