The Pacific Northwest Region (region 6) of the U.S. Forest Service contains 17 national Forests, two National Scenic Areas, a national grassland, and two National Volcanic Monuments, all within the states of Oregon and Washington. These national forests provide forest products for communities, forage for cattle and wildlife, habitat for fish, plants and animals, and some of the finest recreation opportunities in the country.
There are many ways you can help yourself, your family, and your community be better prepared and safe during these high fire danger conditions. Please learn from these tips how best to stay informed and stay safe.
The Forest Service is inviting the public to provide feedback on Great American Outdoors Act projects that are under consideration to be prioritized for funding in Fiscal Year 2021. Projects funded by GAOA will enable federal land managers to take aggressive steps to address deferred maintenance and other infrastructure projects on national forests and grasslands. Your feedback is requested by Sept. 13, 2020. Click here to provide feedback.
