Federal lands provide significant community benefits. Here's a water utility example from when I was working on payments for ecosystem services in Western NC. Send this figure to your senator!

This fine southern gentleman, Rex Mann, died this week. He was a leader within US Forest Service as a forester but especially in wildland fire. In retirement he championed restoration of American chestnut.

Holy cow. Just played around with Meta AI. This is WILD. I am crafting a message for a local foundation-owned forest that the public has access to. Thought “let’s see what AI has to say.” Read the last couple of screenshots, especially!!!

Impending Threat of Wildfire and Smoke in the Southern U.S.: A Scientific Perspective
Wildfire management has emerged as a significant concern for ecosystems, communities, and local economies across the southeastern United States. Recent research conducted by the USDA Forest Service has underscored the increasing complexity of wildfire risks in this region, revealing that both societal changes and evolving forest conditions will influence these risks in the coming decades. A new report from this research sheds light on the dynamics of fire management, emphasizing the importance of prescribed burns and fuel management in mitigating wildfire threats.
