Intermountain and Northern Regions
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..."
