Abstract

Reforestation following harvest, and/or natural disasters, is critical to sustaining healthy forests. Recent increases in frequency, scale, and severity in wildfires in the West combined with ongoing turnover in personnel make the National Silviculture Workshop an ideal venue to review the laws and policies that direct reforestation on National Forest System Lands.
