Caring for the Land and Serving People
The US Forest Service is charged with the care of the nation's forests and rangelands.
We serve the needs of the people of the nation, the owners of the
forest. The Forest Service is a leader in conservation and cooperates
with individual states to assist private landowners in applying
good forest practices on their own lands. We are also involved in
research to find better ways to manage the nation's natural resources. |
