The Cleveland National Forest, one of 18 National Forests in Region 5, is the southern-most National Forest in California. It is divided into the Descanso, Palomar and Trabuco Ranger Districts which are located in San Diego, Riverside, and Orange counties. The Cleveland National Forest is approximately 465,000 acres in size and extends from Orange/Riverside County to the north to within 5 miles of the Mexico border on the south.

 

The Supervisors Office is located in gorgeous sunny San Diego, the eighth-largest city in the United States and the second-largest city in California. San Diego is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, immediately adjacent to the Mexican border and is best known for its mild year-round climate, natural deep-water harbor, and extensive beaches. More recently, San Diego has emerged as a healthcare and biotechnology enclave, home to some of the largest biomedical research facilities in the country.

 

The Supervisors Office conducts the administrative services for the entire forest, from recreation and permits, to forest health, resources management and recreational safety, the units all work together to create an overall healthy and resilient forest. For information on becoming part of the Cleveland National Forest team, please see our employment page.
