President's proposed budget includes 15% increase for State & Private Forestry

Friday, May 8, 2009

President Obama's proposed FY2010 budget was released this week, and included $306 million for the U.S. Forest Service's State and Private Forestry program area, a $40 million (15%) increase over the 2009 omnibus for the agency. More specific dollar amounts for NASF's key priority areas have not yet been released. In addition, the budget proposes creation of a discretionary reserve fund for use if fire suppression dollars in the Forest Service and Department of the Interior coffers are exhausted before the end of the fire season.
