The Butte County Forest Health Guidebook is a publication by the Butte County Firesafe Council and the Butte County Resource Conservation District, with help from the Chico Traditional Ecological Stewardship Program. The guidebook is a practical guide for Butte County Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) property owners. The WUI is the zone of transition between wilderness and land developed by human activity. Butte County’s WUI is made up of more than 200,000 acres of forested land. These acres consist of privately-owned parcels ranging in size between .25 and 100+ acres. The guidebook is intended to help owners of small parcels understand how to manage, restore, and maintain their land. 

BCRCD’s work on this project was partially funded by a Forest Health Watershed Coordinator grant from the California Department of Conservation. Project funding was provided by a grant from the USDA Forest Service Region 5/ Plumas National Forest, an equal opportunity provider.
