About
Us
The Northeastern
Area works with State forestry agencies and private citizens to address protection,
management, and sustainable use choices on non-Federal forest lands. Aligned
under the State and Private Forestry branch of the USDA Forest Service, the Northeastern
Area employs a regional workforce of 190 natural resource professionals and support
staff. These professionals provide technical expertise and manage grant funding
for 20 States and the District of Columbia.
Specialized service is assured by a network of three field offices.
This is the Web site of the Durham (NH) Field Office, which serves
the needs of New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
Partners of the Northeastern Area include Federal natural resource
agencies and the Department of Defense, State forestry agencies,
local governments, schools and universities, citizens groups, tribal
governments, and, of course, individual landowners. These partners
have access to Northeastern Area knowledge and financial resources
related to:

forests, and forest watersheds in urban and rural areas through

and Eradication.

encompassing Urban and
Community Forestry,
Forest Stewardship, Economic
Action, Watershed
Forestry, and Transfer Programs.
Forest Legacy—fostering
protection and better use of forested lands threatened with conversion
to nonforest uses by purchasing conservation easements or fee title
from willing private landowners.
Cooperative Fire Protection—protecting
lives, homes, and improved property, as well as natural resources,
from uncontrolled wildfires on State and private lands, by building
strong, efficient State and local fire protection programs.
Conservation Education—promoting
lifelong learning about natural resources and ecosystems, their
interrelationships, sustainability, conservation, use, management,
and value.
