When it comes to health, forests sometimes need a prescription! Prescribed fire is a forest management technique applied by trained and certified professionals to reduce hazardous fuels. 🔥
What do foresters do in the winter? Lots! ❄️ Prescribed fire can be done in cold, wet weather. 🪲 Many invasive pests are dormant, reducing the risk of spread when removing infested trees. 🪵 Some may conduct timber harvests while the ground is hard and wildlife is inactive.

NASF is proud to have worked closely with @forestservice to develop a plan to protect and enhance landscapes most threatened by catastrophic wildfires. The 10-year Wildfire Crisis Strategy is a big step toward safer, more fire-resilient forests and communities across the country.
Winter is an excellent time for forest health projects! 🪲🌳 Many destructive pests are dormant in winter, allowing foresters to slow or stop the spread of their damage to an individual tree or a small area of a forest.
What tree are you?! 🌳 Trees can have "personality"—from how they look to their preferred environments. Foresters and arborists consider these factors before planting trees or making recommendations to landowners. Can you relate to the "personalities" of any of these trees?
If you want to have the happiest job on Earth, consider working in forestry! 🌳🌲 The Bureau of Labor Statistics American Time Use Survey finds that forestry professionals are happiest in their jobs than workers in any other industry. 😁
Despite the cold, winter is still a great time to explore the forest! Check your state's forestry agency website for winter recreation opportunities in your area 🌲❄️⛷
