May 2026: Forest Restoration

The theme of this issue is “Forest Restoration” and is embodied in the fourth working Principle of NWA: 1) First, put out the fire!; 2) Stop “let it burn” wildfires; 3) Remove hazardous fuels; and 4) Restore active management to our forests. More detailed discussions of each of these precepts will be included in the June NWA Newsletter. Active forest management is the foundation for healthy and productive forest landscapes, including National Forests managed by the U. S. Forest Service. These four NWA Principles are the cornerstone to accomplish this objective.
