The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) announced today that it has released the finalized 2020 revision of the Montana Forest Action Plan. DNRC delivered the completed plan to Governor Bullock yesterday and also submitted the final version to the USDA Forest Service. The Montana Forest Action Plan is Montanaâs all lands, all hands plan for addressing forest health and wildfire risk and will help guide forest restoration and management efforts across the state for the next 10 years.
âThe well-being of our forests is an issue that concerns all Montanans. Whether itâs preventing catastrophic fire or making sure our forest products industry is strong, Montanaâs forests need us to reach across fence lines and work together to improve forest health and reduce wildfire risk,â said Governor Steve Bullock. âThrough the work of the Montana Forest Action Advisory Council, all Montanans can see themselves and the diverse needs of our communities represented in the Montana Forest Action Plan. I look forward to seeing the further collaboration that comes from putting this plan into action across the state.â
