Montana guides for forest management and wildfire recovery.
NRCS emphasizes voluntary, science-based assistance to help private forest landowners and managers improve their forest resource. NRCS conservationists work with private forest landowners and managers to plan and install forestry practices that can improve growth, reduce risk, and improve forest health. In addition, financial assistance for many forestry conservation practices is available through Farm Bill programs administered by NRCS.
