Folks were reeling in memories on the @CarsonNF back in 1959, proving that fishing on national forests and grasslands never goes out of style. National Boating and Fishing Week is the perfect excuse to head to the forest and cast a line.

Active forest management in @NFinAlabama is making a visible difference. Crews are thinning overcrowded stands, applying prescribed fire and accelerating timber projects to improve forest health and reduce wildfire risk. Read more: fs.usda.gov/about-agency/fea…
ALT Dense, dangerously crowded stands of trees are giving way to healthy, spacious forests across Alabama. This transformation is because active forest management on Alabama’s national forests is moving faster than it has in years, and the efforts are improving forest health and supporting local jobs.
