USDA Forest Service

Overview

The USDA Forest Service is a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, established in 1905. Its mission is to manage and protect the nation’s forests and grasslands, ensuring their health, diversity, and productivity for current and future generations. The agency oversees approximately 193 million acres of public lands, including 154 national forests and 20 national grasslands across 43 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.

The Forest Service is a leader in forest research and sustainable natural resource management. It conducts extensive research to inform practices in land management, fire management, and urban forestry. The agency collaborates with various stakeholders, including state forestry agencies, private landowners, and local governments, to enhance forest conditions. It also provides educational resources, technical assistance, and programs that promote ecosystem services such as water quality and wildlife habitat. Through its efforts, the USDA Forest Service supports the sustainable use of natural resources while enhancing recreational opportunities for the public.
