MANHATTAN, Kan. – The 2008 farm bill is the legal basis for massive changes on tap for the nation’s trees, woodlands and forests.
All 60 members of the National Association of State Foresters have devoted more than a year to taking the first steps. (While cited as state foresters, the group also includes the public forestry agencies of the U.S. territories and District of Columbia.) In June, all 60 submitted an up-to-date, strategic assessment of their state’s forest resources to the USDA Forest Service.
As one result, each agency now has identified the urban and rural issues that will be the focus of its efforts in years ahead.
