Resources

Resources Agency programs protect and restore California's natural resources for current and future generations. Included among the state's diverse attributes are stunning coastlines and lakes, spectacular forests, vast fish and wildlife habitats, rich farmlands, and extensive mineral resources. Agency programs also protect the public by suppressing wildfires, constructing river levees, and permitting safe power plants. These programs not only contribute to the state's unique quality of life, they are critical to sustaining a vibrant economy.

The Governor's Budget provides $6.4 billion and more than 16,000 positions to protect and manage California's natural resources in 2007-08. Figure RES-01 displays proposed expenditures for each of the departments, boards, and commissions in the Resources Agency.
