ABOUT CFSJI
Welcome to the California Forestry Sector Jobs Initiative, a pioneering effort inspired by the California Forestry Association (Calforests) and driven by the vision of a resilient, inclusive, and thriving forest products sector. Our initiative is committed to increasing workforce diversity, ensuring equitable opportunities, and addressing the urgent need for proactive forest management to mitigate the risks of catastrophic wildfires in California.
OUR MISSION
The California Forestry Sector Jobs Initiative aims to create a sustainable, equitable workforce that represents all communities across the state. We believe that maintaining our forests is not only an ecological and moral imperative but also a crucial economic driver. By uplifting underrepresented communities and providing durable employment opportunities, we are building a robust workforce that will aid in forest management and support the sustainability of rural communities, the environment, and our workforce.
OUR VISION
Our vision is a future where California’s forests are healthy, resilient, and sustainably managed by a diverse and skilled workforce that is representative of where our state is headed. We see California as a place where every community, regardless of geography or demographics, has the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the forestry sector. Through this initiative, we aim to set a national example for innovative, inclusive, and effective forest management.
The California Forestry Sector Jobs Initiative is more than a recruitment effort; it is a movement towards a safer, more equitable, and sustainable future for all Californians. Join us as we work together to protect our forests, empower our communities, and build a resilient California for generations to come.
