The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Forest and Woodland Resource Management Program manages and conserves 58 million acres of forest and woodland in 12 western States and Alaska. These forests provide a range of ecosystem services including wildlife habitat, hydrologic function, and sustainable harvest of forest products valued by society. A primary activity of the program is to maintain and improve the resilience of forest and woodland ecosystems to wildfire, insects, disease, and drought through density management using timber sales and Stewardship agreements. The goals of the program are to: implement science-based forest restoration projects to improve forest health and resilience to wildfires, insects, disease, and drought. Sustainable harvest of forests and woodlands to produce a continuous supply of wood products and biomass for renewable energy. Salvage dead and dying timber to reduce fuels, in balance with the need for wildlife habitat, watershed function, and soil stability, while supporting local economies. Provide the public with commercial and personal use opportunities to harvest products such as firewood, Christmas trees, boughs, greenery, medicinal plants, fence posts, and pinyon pine nuts from forests and woodlands. Removal of beetle-killed timber to reduce the risk of catastrophic fire and minimize risks to the recreating public. This program supports the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Public Law 117-58, Section 40804(b) Ecosystem Restoration and Section 40803 Wildfire Risk Reduction.

No current data available. BLM continues to maintain and expand partnerships to include funding for continued support of collaborative efforts to build community capacity and support for ecological restoration efforts in forests and woodland areas. Both the public and Government agencies benefit from the BLM’s support of partners from heightened understanding of the social, economic, as well as environmental, aspects of ecosystem restoration and maintenance. The BLM awarded stewardship cooperative agreements to the Mule Deer Foundation, American Forests, Society of American Foresters, universities, and several resource conservation districts to improve wildlife habitat, reduce hazardous fuels, promote reforestation and restore resilience to forest and woodlands.

Continued to use agreements including Good Neighbor to implement restoration and fuels reduction treatments across forest and woodlands. Projects included forest thinning to improve resilience to wildfire, insect, and disease, hazardous fuels reduction treatments, chemical treatment of invasive weeds, and vegetation treatment to improve wildlife habitat.
Projects to protect and restore whitebark pine. Treatment included thinning competing tree species around whitebark pine (daylighting) to promote fire resilience and tree vigor. Whitebark pine stands were also protected using verbenone to repel insect attack. Project partner training workshops on aspen restoration, protection, and management.
Expect to treat forest and woodlands to improve resilience and to increase efforts toward reforestation of lands impacted by high severity wildfire and insect epidemics. Part of this effort will entail identifying BLM lands where there has been a loss of forest and woodland cover.
