Description
According to the U.S. Forest Service, the goal of the Forest Products program is to ensure the “productive and sustainable use” of national forest land. Timber sales occur under this program through Good Neighbor Agreements (GNA).Additional Program Notes & TCS Insights
Subsidies to address the lack of commercial viability of forest and wood products under the guise of reducing “hazardous fuel” might create perverse incentives that undercut forest health objectives and can increase the risk of fire. Where timber and other forest products harvest can take place is often determined by road access, commercial viability, and other local conditions that may misalign with wildfire spatial patterns or even undermine overall forest health.Appropriations
