Shasta-Trinity National Forest Seeks Community Members for Advisory Committee

The Shasta‑Trinity National Forest needs community members from Shasta and Trinity counties to serve on a Resource Advisory Committee. Resource Advisory Committees review land management projects seeking funding through the Secure Rural Schools Act, directing funds to local priorities on or near federal land. Members may also vote on recreation fee proposals affecting National Forest System lands in their county.

Terms are four years and voluntary, though travel reimbursement may be available. Expect to meet once a month or less.

Committee members request, review and recommend projects to:

• Improve maintenance of existing infrastructure,
• Implement stewardship objectives to enhance forest ecosystems,
• Restore and improve land health and water quality, and
• Create additional employment opportunities.To be considered for a Resource Advisory Committee, you must 1) live in the state of California, with a preference given to those living in Shasta and Trinity counties and 2) be affiliated with one of the required categories.

All applications and nominations will be reviewed after enough individuals have applied to fill all 15 seats on each committee.

Interested applicants can learn more and apply by contacting Monique Rea at [email protected] or 530‑784‑3906. Applications are due by Friday, July 31, 2026.
