Mitigating climate change is more nuanced than just "leaving forests untouched." Scientific research shows thinning, prescribed fire and other forest management approaches foster healthier forests that are more resilient during wildfire, extreme heat and drought. #workingforests

The U.S. has some of the most abundant and productive forest resources in the world, due in large part to the widespread adoption of sustainable forestry practices.
One key practice? The protection of water resources. Sustainable forest management protects water quality and supply, which contributes to thriving ecosystems and a healthier planet. #NaturalWaterPurifier #WaterFromWoods #ModernForestry
