Natural Resources

Natural Resources Agency programs protect and restore California's diverse, abundant natural and cultural resources for current and future generations, including 278 state park units, stunning coastlines and lakes, spectacular forests, vast fish and wildlife habitats, rich farmlands and mineral resources. Agency programs also protect the public through suppression of wildfires, construction of levees in the Central Valley, and permitting environmentally safe energy power plants. These programs not only contribute to the state's unique quality of life, but also are critical to sustaining a vibrant economy.
