State Foresters have the primary authority to manage and protect state and private forests across the country, which encompass two-thirds of the nation's forests. State Foresters and their agencies also support the efforts of many federal partners -- including the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Department of the Interior -- through the delivery of a number of programs aimed at assisting private landowners in managing their forested lands and protecting those lands from insects, fire and disease.
