The Healthy Forests Initiative focuses on reducing the risk of catastrophic fire by thinning dense undergrowth and brush in priority locations that are on a collaborative basis with selected Federal, state, tribal, and local officials and communities.
The initiative also provides for more timely responses to disease and insect infestations that threaten to devastate forests.
