Guidelines
The Department of Conservation (DOC) is pleased to announce the release of the 2023 Climate Smart Land Management Program Guidelines (PDF).
About the Program
This Climate Smart Land Management Program is funded by the Budget Act of 2022 (AB 179, Ch. 249, Stat. 2022), which appropriated $10 million to the Department for grants to implement projects or develop plans that increase climate action on California's natural and working lands and are consistent with the State's Natural and Working Lands Climate Smart Strategy. The Climate Smart Land Management - Capacity and Technical Assistance Program seeks to increase the capacity of state partners to support accomplishment of goals identified in the State's Natural and Working Lands Climate Smart Strategy (NWLCSS).
Online Workshops
