Our systems and processes have served us well in the past, but they need to continue to evolve to keep up with the best available science, changes in authorities, technology, markets, and stewardship ideals.
The National Forest Foundation (NFF) is undertaking an ambitious effort to plant 50 million trees across our National Forests by 2023.
Successful vegetation management ensures that our National Forests are conserved, restored, and made more resilient to climate change while enhancing our water resources.
Managing the Forest
The Forest Service stewards an impressive portfolio of landscapes across 193 million acres of National Forests and Grasslands in the public trust. The agency’s top priority is to maintain and improve the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of current and future generations. Forest management focuses on managing vegetation, restoring ecosystems, reducing hazards, and maintaining forest health.
