Tree Planters' Notes celebrates its 75th anniversary with some retrospectives from retired Forest Service nursery specialists. It also includes articles on restoring landscapes for private landowners through partnerships, how trees in the Pacific Northwest respond to different stock type sizes, creating an in-school nursery program for technical education, using social media to generate interest in planting and nurseries, and a simple strategy to protect seedlings from inclement weather.

The National Active Forest Management Strategy fulfills direction from Executive Order 14225, Secretarial Memo 1078-006, and the Forest Service Associate Chief ’s letter on implementation of Secretarial Memo 1078-006. The strategy describes priority actions that the agency can take to support active forest management under four main subject areas: capacity building and streamlining implementation; environmental compliance; shared stewardship, partnerships, contracting, and markets; and salvage and reforestation.

This information sheet shows how land management activities support local economies and contribute to the Nation's gross domestic product through timber and forest products, minerals and energy production, livestock grazing, recreation, and more.
