Hoopa Valley Tribal Forestry

The Hoopa Valley Tribal Forestry Department under the direction of the Hoopa Valley Tribal Council is responsible for the management of over 87,000 acres of timberland. Hoopa Tribal Forestry's management practices have adopted methods that help maintain and better protect sensitive habitats that our wildlife and natural resources depend on. The forests of the Hoopa Reservation have been and still

are utilized by Hoopa Tribal Members for hunting and gathering. These cultural activities continue today. The forest grows an abundance of culturally useful plant species, such as bear grass, hazel sticks, and ferns. The Forests also provide habitat favorable to the animal species tribal members have hunted for subsistence and for cultural uses, such as dance regalia. The management is facilitated by the Hoopa Valley Tribes "Forest Management Plan" (FMP) which has been in place since 1994. The Hoopa Tribes FMP introduced a shift from a pure commercial timber production operation to a more environmentally aware and responsible management strategy that focused more on sustainability and multiple resource uses. Hoopa Tribal Forestry consists of several environmental specialty departments: Timber Department, Wildlife Department, Planning Department, Fuels Management Department, and Silvicultural Department. These departments all work within the Natural Resource Division more commonly known as The Hoopa Tribal Forestry Department. This is a safe space strictly for information purposes.
