Message from the Director
"State
and Private Forestry programs provide a combination
of tools, authorities, financial, and technical
resources to support natural resource management
across federal, state, tribal, and private land
ownerships. Our programs address many of
today's key issues: forest health, wildfire
preparedness and mitigation, invasive species, loss
of open space, and the health of rural,
resource-dependent communities..."
