The Joint Forestry Team’s purpose is to make recommendations that result in coordinated interagency delivery of forestry and conservation assistance for working forests, farms, and ranches. Team participants seek to improve the sustainability of the nation’s forests in order to provide optimum levels of public benefits and ecosystem services.

The Joint Forestry Team encourages partnerships at the state, multi-state, watershed and local levels.  To foster these partnerships, the Team has compiled a growing list of resources for leaders to use to enhance their cooperative activities.
