Partnerships
Collaboration and partnerships are the way of the future in managing the nation’s forests and grasslands. The U.S. Forest Service’s fundamental mission is to sustain the health, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. To accomplish this mission, the Forest Service partners with land management agencies across all levels of government, with nonprofit and for-profit entities, and with local communities.
Increasingly, the Forest Service’s role is to bring these groups and individuals together to restore, manage and better understand ecosystems and their processes through on-the-ground, community-based projects. A partnered or collaborative approach builds commitment to projects and ownership of the results and helps diverse groups find common interests and leverage resources to get work done. Together, we can accomplish far more than we could alone.
