Forest Management Practices

As the ecosystems most widely cited in conversations about carbon sequestration and storage, America’s public and private forests have a significant role to play in addressing the impacts of climate change. Land management plans must incorporate active management prescriptions to improve forest health, reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire, and support carbon sequestration efforts.
