Description

The Forest Service received funding through a stewardship contract to clear debris left over from a logging operation in Washington’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

The year 2015 marked a turning point for the U.S. Forest Service. For the first time in its history, the agency spent more than 50% of its budget on wildfire management, according to an agency report from that year.
