A third of the U.S. is covered by forestland, and 10 million private individuals and families own nearly half of it. These private lands provide 60 percent of the wood fiber to the forest products industry, which supports 1.6 million workers and their families with $50 billion of income annually. CSREES/land-grant partnership activities expand the growing knowledge of forest ecosystems, train future forestry professionals, and put research-based management practices into action through extension to landowners. http://www.csrees.usda.gov/forests.cfm CSREES webcomments@csrees.usda.gov [IN FOCUS] CSREES requested Renewable Resources Extension Act-National Focus Fund projects to develop eXtension Communities of Practice and projects to be replicated. 1 Aug 2008 17:07:53 GMT http://www.csrees.usda.gov/fo/rreanationalfocusfundsprojects.cfm 3FF1B861-83BB-418D-B385-C012C038A508 [EVENT] Firewise Conference: Backyards and Beyond, Tampa, FL, November 6-8, 2008. 1 Jul 2008 14:51:58 GMT http://ww.firewise.org/fw_youcanuse/conference/conference_08.htm D0B65678-6A48-47B1-95A6-775D7EC62226 [IN FOCUS] CSREES and partners promote sustainable outdoor recreation environments to connect people with nature, leading to healthier people, resources, and communities. 19 Jun 2008 20:00:59 GMT http://www.csrees.usda.gov/nea/nre/pdfs/orre_strategic_plan.pdf 030CA7CA-BA73-4893-A560-66E7B31DB784 [EVENT] Competitive Grants Grantsmanship Workshops, Washington, DC/Salt Lake City, UT, September/October, 2008. 7 May 2008 18:48:30 GMT http://www.csrees.usda.gov/business/training/cpworkshops.html C45D1D27-462F-4631-9B4A-0051962BDD77
