Partnerships
Partnerships play an integral role in the shared stewardship of the national forest. Our partners include other government agencies, nonprofit and for-profit entities, and local communities. Working together with these partners helps us accomplish more work in more areas than we would otherwise be able to do alone.
We are always looking to expand our growing list of partners. Partnerships need to involve projects that are mutually beneficial to both the national forest and the partnering entity. Many partnerships have formal arrangements that involve legal documents or administrative tasks. Is your organization interested in exploring partnership opportunities with the national forest? If so visit our Partnerships 101 page to learn more about the Forest Service, legal requirements for partnerships, and details about funding and other information.
