Partnership Guide
As the Forest Service increasingly works to manage forest resources through on-the-ground, community-based projects, partnerships – and the resources necessary to design and implement those partnerships – are crucial. The Forest Service Partnership Guide serves as one of those resources.
The Partnership Guide is a tool to help Forest Service employees, experienced partners, and first-time or potential partners work together more effectively and efficiently. The guide answers common questions about the agency’s policies and procedures, helps partners and agency employees anticipate potential hurdles, and provides contacts and other resources to help stakeholders find more specific guidance.
The guide was recently updated to include up-to-date information on a comprehensive suite of partnership topics. This revised guide has been designed as an online, paperless resource that will continually be updated electronically as policy, best practices, and laws evolve.
