USDA Forest Service. Established in 1905, the Forest Service mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. As the lead Federal agency in natural resource conservation, the agency provides leadership in the protection, management, and use of the Nation’s forest, rangeland, and aquatic ecosystems. Over the last two decades, research has improved the understanding of the impacts of changing conditions, including potential climate change, on our Nation’s forests, rangelands, and urban areas. This information and recent changes to land management regulations, and strategic plans have led to a range of management policies, science programs, and science-delivery actions aimed at developing adaptation and mitigation approaches to sustain healthy ecosystems. Ecological conditions include vegetation composition and structure, abundance, and distribution of aquatic and terrestrial habitats, human uses, and invasive species. To be successful the Forest Service maintains a consistent resource measurement and monitoring strategy across landscapes and ownerships. In 1980, the Forest Service (FS), along with a number of other agencies including the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the USGS, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS, previously the Soil Conservation Service) formed a five agency Working Group to explore classifications and inventories of natural resources with two major objectives: (1) identify and define all land use and land cover terms, and (2) develop common reference definitions that could be used across agencies. This initial step and other multi-agency efforts would later lead to the Federal Government to establish the FGDC, require metadata for geospatial data it produces, and make those data available to the public (Executive Order 12906 of April 11, 1994). The FGDC promoted consistency of documentation and terminology and the development of a National Vegetation Classification Standard (NVCS, FGDC-STD-005-1997) and then a revised NVCS (FGDC-STD-005-2008). The Forest Service supported ESA, TNC, and NatureServe in those efforts and is currently helping to support the implementation of the 2008 NVCS. The Forest Service is the lead agency for the FGDC Vegetation Subcommittee and appoints the chair of the subcommittee.

USDA Forest Service. The mission of the Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. The Forest Service is a multi-faceted agency that protects and manages 154 national forests and grasslands in 44 states and Puerto Rico and is the world’s largest forestry research organization. Their experts provide technical and financial help to state and local government agencies, businesses, private landowners to help protect and manage non-federal forest and associated range and watershed lands. They develop partnerships with many public and private agencies to augment their work planting trees, improving trails, providing education on conservation and fire prevention, and improve conditions in wildland/urban interfaces and rural areas. Their team also promotes sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation internationally.
