U.S. Forest Service - Shasta-Trinity National Forest

At the Forest Service, we practice active forest management.

This is forest maintenance that keeps forests open, healthy and productive.

This work includes:

➡️Mechanical treatments to thin overstocked forests
➡️Timber sales to deliver wood to market
➡️Reforestation to grow strong, healthy forests
➡️Prescribed fires (good fire) to clean the forest floor and mimic natural cycles

People have been having a good time on Shasta Lake this Independence Day holiday weekend, and we’re here for it.

Sunny skies and inviting water drew plenty of people wanting to recreate on the lake.

Be safe and have a good time on the water!
