California Women for Agriculture (CWA) supports the management of renewable forestry resources and provision of the products California needs while enhancing forest ecosystems and biological diversity.

CWA supports industry practices that are dedicated to obtaining the above goals in the most responsible manner possible by employing sustainable forestry practices while meeting or exceeding environmental protection requirements.

To ensure that forests provide future generations the same or greater economic and environmental value as they do currently, CWA supports initiatives that promote and foster sustainable forest management.

CWA will encourage cooperative programs and actions that utilize modern forestry science, technology, and educational outreach. CWA also supports cooperative conservation that fosters an environment in which state and federal agencies can work productively with private landowners and managers to ensure the long-term viability of forest resources and the many values forests deliver.

CWA supports efforts to establish a regulatory structure that emphasizes on-the-ground performance over one-size-fits-all prescriptions.
