Forest Management

The Forests and Grassland is over 1.6 million acres with a great deal of management taking place to improve forest health, manage for wildfire risk reduction, provide timber, better wildlife habitat and more. This landscape offers a variety of ecosystems rich in history, geology, scenery, wildlife habitat and recreation opportunities. The agency’s top priority is to maintain and improve the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of current and future generations.
