Resource Management

• Grazing Management

  

  Rangelands form a component of ecosystems in the Mark Twain National Forest. Vegetative communities represented include: grasslands, shrub-lands, woodlands, riparian ecosystems, and open canopied forests. Forest rangelands are managed with the goal of providing healthy ecosystems and sustainable resource uses. Well-managed rangelands provide wildlife habitat, livestock forage, stable watersheds, and recreational opportunities.

• Prescribed Burning

  

  The Mark Twain National Forest prescribed burn program focuses treatment on priority landscapes to meet goals and objectives stated in the 2005 Land & Resource Management Plan. As of 2015, there are about 244,410 acres (16% of total Forest acres) designated as Priority burn acres. These are the acres (or “footprint”) that the Forest intends to manage into the future, with prescribed burning as part of the treatment, to create and maintain sustainable, healthy, woodland and glade natural communities.
