Kick-off Meetings for New CWSF Committees
The new CWSF committees each held their first virtual meeting in August with broad representation from western states, regions, and partners.
The Forest Health Committee meeting included 15 state and four Pacific Island Forest Health Program Managers, six USDA Forest Service Regional Foresters, Deputy Regional Foresters, and the USDA Forest Service Washington Office Forest Health Protection Director.
The Forest Stewardship/Landowner Assistance Committee meeting included 14 state and four Pacific Island Program Managers, three USDA Forest Service Regional Program Managers, USDA Forest Service Washington Office Staff, National Association of State Foresters staff, and Farm Service Agency staff.
Both meetings included setting committee goals, sharing current challenges, and discussing how these committees can foster collaboration between agencies and regions, and across the western states. Each committee has an established leadership team (see below) and will hold leadership team meetings within the month.
