Workgroup Information Forest Ecosystems and Communities
Summary	Conifer-dominated forest ecosystems, both managed and unmanaged, provide a wide range of benefits to California's consumers, recreationists, workforce, and local residents. This workgroup focuses on generating and disseminating the best practices that connect forests, natural resource managers, and the broad array of communities that benefit.
