Forests clean our air and water, shelter wildlife, supply renewable resources and provide spaces for recreation. The Forest Service manages 193 million acres of national forests and grasslands so these benefits last for generations.

Today, take a moment to appreciate the role forests play in your life. Learn more about how our agency works to sustain healthy, resilient forests at https://www.fs.usda.gov/managing-land/national-forests-grasslands. (Forest Service photo by Preston Keres.)
