How the Healthy Forests Initiative & the Healthy
Forests Restoration Act of 2003 are Making a Difference
Last year was a landmark year for positive environmental legislation
and actions. Through the Healthy Forests Initiative tools and the
Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 authorities, land management
agencies are aggressively improving the health of our forests and
rangelands by reducing the risk on catastrophic wildland fire, and
disease and insect infestations—They are making a difference
for the better.
