Providing wise management of our nation's water resources, engaging youth in conservation stewardship, promoting active lifestyles, and serving communities contribute to a healthy and vibrant America. These goals could only be achieved with the help of our partners.

• The U.S. Forest Service, the largest agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has a long and distinguished history of public service and land stewardship through partnership. As the complexity surrounding the management of public lands increases, these partnerships are becoming an increasingly essential mechanism for achieving social, economic, and ecological goals associated with our national forests and grasslands.
• USDA Forest Service's partnership program is essential to fulfilling our mission to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation's forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. Our partners provide valuable support and resources that benefit grassland resources, our local communities, and the public.
• USDA Forest Service's Congressionally chartered nonprofit partners, the National Forest Foundation, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and National Environmental Education Foundation, are a crucial element within this network of strong, enduring partnerships.
