PURPOSE INTRODUCTION TO THE CALIFORNIA FOREST IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The California Forest Improvement Program (CFIP) is a forestry incentive program that provides funds to forest landowners for management plans, RPF supervision, site preparation, tree planting, thinning, pruning, follow-up, release, land conservation, and improvement of fish and wildlife habitat. CFIP’s purpose is to encourage private and public investments in forestlands and resources within the state to ensure adequate future high quality timber supplies, related employment and other economic benefits, and to protect, maintain, and enhance the forest resource for the benefit of present and future generations. FUNDING The source of funds for CFIP projects historically has come from California’s Forest Resource Improvement Fund (FRIF). FRIF receives its funding from timber sale revenue off of the State’s Demonstration Forests. Funding may also be provided from other State and Federal sources, e.g. Forest Stewardship Program and Forest Land Enhancement Program of the USDA Forest Service. FEDERAL COST-SHARING PROGRAMS 1 Your contract may be funded in part by various USDA Forest Service programs such as the Forest Stewardship Program (FSP) or the Forest Health Management Program (FHMP) when such funds are available. The State receives these funds through grants that may expire in shorter time frames than the normal CFIP contract. It may be necessary to accomplish certain activities within the USDA grant period. The use of federal funds will be done on a contract by contract basis and will be discussed with the CAL FIRE Project Manager before approval of the contract. In general, only those activities that can be accomplished during the grant period are funded with USDA funds. Ask your CAL FIRE forester for more information. NOTE: Usually federal funding sources may have other requirements; e.g. that the property’s forestland be covered by the California Cooperative Management Plan. 1 Those practices funded by the USDA Forest Service State and Private Forestry must be completed within the grant period of 18 months. However, if practices are not completed within that time period were due to conditions beyond the landowner’s control, the State Forester may grant an extension for time, not to exceed 12 months, IF the federal grant can also be extended.
