Cooperative Forestry
 Forests can produce greater benefits if they are protected and
managed to accomplish their owner's goals, while still providing
surrounding
Our
Forest Management Program works with State and private landowners
and foresters in ways that best serve our resources. This encompasses
both urban and rural areas.
Managed rural forests provide habitat for wildlife, an aesthetically
pleasing landscape feature, and high-grade raw material for timber
products. Landowners who steward their forests obtain a source of
income while ensuring a sustainable supply of goods and services
that communities demand to support existing standards of living.
Managed urban forests
coexist with dense human populations. They provide similar benefits
as rural forests, which include enhancing the quality of life for
citizens by providing aesthetically attractive green space and habitat
for wildlife. Urban forests and community trees can also help reduce
energy consumption.
Forests in both rural and urban environments serve as vital filters
for water. Managed rural and urban forests protect the clean water
that is necessary for human consumption and prized as a recreational
resource by a large portion of the population.
