The uncontrolled wildfires that raged across California this year devastated lives, homes, forests and entire watersheds. We set a dubious record for most acres burned in a single year: 4.1 million and counting.
It takes a long time to recover from such intense fires. In 2014, the King Fire burned 97,000 acres of vital American River watershed in Northern California, and weâre still managing the consequences.
As representatives of urban and rural communities in this watershed, we appreciate that our lives are interconnected by the effects of wildfire. We understand how uncontrolled fire in our headwater forests can trigger cascading negative impacts on our water supplies, environment, recreational resources and economy â from the Sierra foothills to Sacramentoâs urban core into the Delta and beyond. We also know that the way we have historically managed our forests must change.

Extraordinary photos of wildfires
In 2020, we witnessed firsthand the effects of climate change, as seen in the devastating wildfires that swept through parts of the world. In California alone, 8,100 wildfires ravaged the landscape, killing more than 30 people this year.
In areas of Australia, massive swaths of habitat were destroyed, killing more than 5,000 koalas and leading scientists to predict that the animals could be extinct by 2050 if the trend continues. According to reports, the Amazon rainforest in Brazil suffered the worst fires in a decade, and jaguars were found wandering and starving, their lungs black and paws burned to the bone.
