Natural Resources

The mission of the Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations.

That said, the GMUG National Forests are engaged in a wide range of projects implemented to better understand, enhance, and manage the natural resources of our forest. These projects include watershed protection and improvement, water qualities studies, wetlands restoration, range improvements, noxious weed control and eradication, soils inventories, fuel hazard reduction, fire suppression, cultural resource restoration and inventories, fish inventories and habitat improvements, and wildlife inventories and re-introductions
