Current Projects
We are guiding a new decade of work within the Southwestern Crown that will improve forest health and create new rural jobs. Whether it’s improving wildlife habitat, fixing up watersheds, reestablishing fire as a management tool, or establishing a responsible and improved trail and road system – our projects represent the future of forest management on federal lands.
