Our project aims to support the recovery of the Nation's 155 Forests and 20 Grasslands, managed by the USDA Forest Service, by addressing the impacts of wildfires and spruce budworm infestations. With tree mortality reaching 60-80% in some areas, we work to re-establish seed sources for future regeneration and enhance the forests' resilience to future infestations. This effort ensures the long-term health, diversity, and productivity of these 193

Project description

Managed by the U.S. Forest Service the National Forests (155) and National Grasslands (20) provide Americans with 193 million spectacular acres of wildlands.

- More than 9,000 miles of scenic byways to drive
- Almost 150,000 miles of trails to hike
- More than 4,400 miles of wild and scenic rivers to float
- At least 5,100 campgrounds in which to pitch our tents
- 328 natural pools to swim in

All this and the chance to see elk and bear, ducks and deer, trout and trees, thousands of species of plants, and billions of stars in a midnight sky.

The National Forests and Grasslands host 170 million visits every year. Visitor spending pumps $13.5 billion into our economy annually, sustaining nearly 223,000 jobs in gateway communities.

These lands are the foundation of America’s outdoor recreation heritage and sustain our way of life. They provide water to millions Americans in thousands of communities, clean our air, store carbon, and provide timber, minerals, oil and gas and other resources for industry and communities.

Without these lands, America would be a very different place. Help the U.S. Forest Service ensure these lands stay healthy and vibrant for generations to come.
