Following a record-setting wildfire season, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday revealed a $536 million plan to help California prevent future fires.
The proposal, which comes as the rain-deprived state is facing another potentially devastating round of fires, would help boost forest health, improve defensible space and protect homes against fires while also investing in fire prevention grants and workforce training. It includes vegetation management on public and private lands, community-focus prevention efforts and economic relief for the forestry economy.
