About Us

The Forest Service is an anchor for the forest community, an essential steward of public lands and waters, a leader of forestry research, a key partner for state, local, private, and tribal forest land managers, and a critical part of community well-being and economic prosperity. 

FOTFS will create and activate a broad-based, big tent network of people, groups, and communities that see the Forest Service as an anchor partner and essential part of their well-being, to be able to make the case that the Forest Service and its mission, lands, people and partners matter. 

FOTFS would help identify common cause - it would not pick or choose among the multiple uses or parts of the agency, but would bring facts, stories and a collective voice to the need for a strong, high-functioning agency with the resources and capacity needed to support the system as a whole. FOTFS will: 

  1. Serve as a hub to help activate, connect and support individual and distributed networks to better illuminate the importance of the Forest Service as a whole, 

  2. Collect, curate and serve as a source for trusted information and stories about relevance and impact by state and by issue/industry, and 

  3. Support education and outreach to key audiences, based on local leadership and knowledge of what is most likely to move the needle.
