In January 2022, the Forest Service launched a 10-year initiative, “Confronting the Wildfire Crisis Strategy – A Strategy for Protecting Communities and Improving Resilience in America’s Forests.”

This strategy highlights the 50 million acres in need of management to reduce the risk of wildfire — with 20 million acres on national forests and an additional 30 million acres across other high-risk jurisdictions.

This five-part video series looks at one of these areas, a landscape in Northern California — the Klamath River Basin — and the 10 million acres spanning the Klamath, Modoc, Siskiyou, Trinity and Humboldt counties, of which 55% are on national forests.
