AI Contract Overview
The California State Coastal Conservancy is providing grant funding to support the Cachuma Resource Conservation District in hiring a three-quarter time staff assistant to strengthen its capacity to implement wildfire resilience initiatives across Santa Barbara County. This position will be responsible for developing, administering, and coordinating wildfire mitigation programs aligned with the Santa Barbara County Regional Priority Plan and the Regional Wildfire Mitigation Program, replacing earlier contracted services with an in-house expert to ensure sustained program momentum. Key duties include designing and promoting fire hazard reduction projects such as chipping, prescribed burning, native vegetation restoration, roadside vegetation management, and grazing, while also delivering public education, technical assistance to landowners, and active participation in regional collaborations with public agencies and nonprofits to secure additional funding and expand impact. The project prioritizes Communities at Risk within High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, building on existing efforts in the wildland-urban interface and expanding into broader forest and rangeland areas over time. While the geographic focus is Santa Barbara County, the scope acknowledges the transboundary nature of wildfire risk, as demonstrated by events like the 2025 Madre and Gifford fires, and includes leveraging regional partnerships to support wildfire prevention and mitigation across adjacent jurisdictions. Additional responsibilities involve maintaining the RPP website, engaging in peer learning and training, representing CRCD in public forums, and developing a long-term funding strategy to ensure program continuity beyond the initial grant period. The position is critical to institutionalizing wildfire resilience efforts and fostering coordinated, community-based solutions throughout the region.
