Strategic Goal 6: Ensure productive and sustainable use of our National Forest System Lands. Proposal-at-a-Glance . |(b)(5);Deliberative Process Privilege Description National Forests were originally envisioned as working forests with multiple objectives to improve and protect the forest, secure favorable watershed conditions, and to furnish a continuous supply of timber for use by citizens of the United States. During the post-World War II housing boom, national forests were viewed as a ready supply of building material resulting in high volume outputs that peaked in the 1980s. This era had a significant influence on our forest management culture and associated internal direction that persists to this day. Justification Our current practices and processes are not delivering results at the pace and scale expected of the Forest Service. We aspire to significantly improve our practices and processes to meet the pace and scale of results expected of the Forest Service in a sustainable way. Proposal Implementation and Time Horizon to Start Action FY17: Project initiated, breadth and depth of problem/issues described, potential program changes identified.
