OUR VISION
In 2005, the U.S. Forest Service celebrated the legacy of its first century of service. At that time, leaders in the Eastern Region asked "what will our legacy for the next century be?" This led to the development of a vision for the Region, which is "Courageous Conservation," a sustainable future, a legacy of restoration. Our vision has five audacious goals:
-
Protect ecosystems across boundaries
-
Connect citizens to the land
-
Walk the talk for sustainability
-
Revolutionize effectiveness and efficiency
-
Be an employer of choice
The vision is being incorporated into the Eastern Region's program of work and will shape our practices and the way we complete work on-the-ground now and into the future.
