Resource Management

Resource management program areas

The Forest Service manages forest lands to increase the resiliency of landscapes. We have many program areas where we work under this overarching forest restoration theme including: 

• Vegetation and invasive plants
• Aquatics: Fish, aquatic restoration, and soil and water
• Fire
• Heritage and cultural resources
• Wilderness and Wild & Scenic Rivers

To accomplish the Forest Service's stewardship responsibilities, creative approaches are needed to complete the necessary work and simultaneously contribute to the economic growth of local, rural communities.  Read more about the Gifford Pinchot National Forest Retained Receipts Projects.
