CA AB2610

Establishes Article 3.3 in the Fish and Game Code creating a grant program administered by the Wildlife Conservation Board for ecologically sensitive vegetation management practices that reduce wildfire risk while maintaining ecological health and biodiversity.

Defines key terms including "ecologically sensitive vegetation management" as invasive plant control using best management practices to reduce wildfire risk while supporting native wildlife and biodiversity.

Requires the Wildlife Conservation Board to award grants to local government entities, park and open-space districts, resource conservation districts, and nonprofit organizations for vegetation management projects.

Specifies grant-eligible projects must use practices such as maximizing invasive species removal via Integrated Pest Management, promoting native plant species, protecting watersheds, and incorporating wildlife protection timing and monitoring plans.

Directs the board to leverage existing state funding rather than requiring new appropriations to support these vegetation management grants.
