U.S. Forest Service Announces New Forest Management Strategy

The new National Active Forest Management Strategy aims to modernize forest management practices to meet the U.S. demand for timber, reduce the risk of wildfire, and support rural economies. It aligns with the executive order that directs the U.S. Forest Service to expand timber production and streamline regulations. The goal is to increase timber volume by 25% to 4 billion board feet while enhancing industry stability through long-term contracts, integrating forest management with fuel programs, and streamlining regulatory processes to reduce delays.
