California Air Resources Board

The Shasta County Air Quality Management District is doing its part to restore resilient, carbon‑storing, and wildfire‑resistant forests and protect public health across northern California with help from a $159,000 grant from California Climate Investments through the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Prescribed Fire Reporting and Monitoring Program. The program supports state forest management and wildfire resilience goals by providing local resources that improve the prescribed burn planning, smoke monitoring, and air quality data collection. These improvements facilitate the implementation of prescribed burning, while also providing the Shasta County Air Quality Management District and the public better information on smoke in order to protect human health.
