Division of Forest, Range, and Vegetation Resources (HQ-220)

The Foundation of Land Health and Productivity

The health and productivity of BLM-managed public lands hinge on the foundation of healthy and sustainable forest and vegetation resources. This responsibility rests on the Division of Forest, Range, and Vegetation Resources (HQ-220). The goal of the division is to maintain healthy and productive rangelands, forests, and woodlands. Healthy public lands provide for public land grazing, timber and other forest products, and native plant materials; habitat for wildlife, threatened and endangered species, and wild horses and burros; and intrinsic values, such as quiet pristine places to connect with nature. The division develops partnerships to manage threats from noxious weeds, invasive species, disease, and catastrophic wildfire; ensure effective rehabilitation and restoration following wildfire; and adapt and respond to climate change. HQ-220 accomplishes its role through the following programs.
