Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry

In honor of National Native American Heritage Month, the USDA Forest Service (USFS) would like to highlight a successful 20-year partnership with member Tribes of the Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission.

This month’s theme reflects the Forest Service’s commitment to using the best available science and information to understand and improve the ability of forests and grasslands to remain healthy and resilient.

This guide was developed by a committee of program managers. We recognize that each State has achieved tremendous accomplishments in forest stewardship

We are committed to creating and maintaining a work environment in which all people are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect, and are free from harassment.
