In enacting this chapter, it is the purpose of the Legislature to declare the existence of a California Conservation Camp program to provide for the training and use of the inmates and wards assigned to conservation camps in the furtherance of public conservation.
It is the policy of this state to require the inmates and wards assigned to such camps to perform public conservation projects including, but not limited to, forest fire prevention and control, forest and watershed management, recreation, fish and game management, soil conservation and forest and watershed revegetation.
In order to effect the maximum possible conservation and development of natural resources for the benefit of the people of this state, whenever reasonably possible, conservation projects of a multiple purpose nature shall be undertaken by the California Conservation Camps. The various agencies concerned with conservation projects shall consult and advise with each other to promote these multiple-purpose conservation projects and in order to achieve this goal may enter into such contracts as may be necessary.
