Stem the Loss Report
"A healthy and prosperous America relies on the health of our natural resources, and particularly our forests," Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack has said.
Today, our forests are under siege from a variety of threats. How America protects and manages what forestland has never been more important for the country's economic and social well-being. Families, not the government, and not big companies, are the stewards of most of America’s forests.
