LandsProviding for Present and Future GenerationsOur MissionThe Lands program secures and protects the American public’s rights, title, value, and interests in its national forests and grasslands and authorizes a variety of uses on those lands to meet the needs of present and future generations. Security and protection of the public’s interests in National Forest System (NFS) land is essential to the land stewardship and public trust responsibilities of the Forest Service. To obtain these goals we will:
Our GoalMore than 192 million acres of land are managed as national forests and grasslands. The Intermountain Region is comprised of 18 national forests (managed as 13), and one national grassland, with the largest land base of any Forest Service region at just over 34 million acres. The protection of these lands and resources is one of our fundamental responsibilities. Through direct land management practices, the Lands program enables the Region to better manage Federal lands within or adjacent to NFS boundaries and deliver the necessary products and services that are essential for enhancing natural resource stewardship and providing for the public's enjoyment, future use, and access to NFS land. Our ActivitiesThe Lands program is carried out through four major activities. Click on the links below to learn more.
