Oklahoma Forest Action Plan 2015 OKLAHOMA FOREST ACTION PLAN 2010 Updated November 2015 The Oklahoma Forest Action Plan, 2015 A comprehensive analysis of forest-related conditions, trends, threats and opportunities George Geissler, Director and State Forester Oklahoma Forestry Services - Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry 2800 North Lincoln Boulevard, Oklahoma City, OK 73105, (405) 522-6158 www.forestry.ok.gov Primary Authors: Erin Johnson, former Management Forester, Oklahoma Forestry Services Craig Marquardt, Area Forester, Oklahoma Forestry Services Susan Langley, GIS Specialist, Oklahoma Forestry Services The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, or marital or family status. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA’s TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD). To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, Room 326-W, Whitten Building, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250- 9410 or call (202) 720-5964 (voice and TDD). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. With more than 12.5 million acres of forest and woodlands, Oklahoma is rich in forest resources and heritage. Our forests provide us many things such as clean water, air, shade, recreational opportunities and products which enhance the lives of all of our citizens. In addition the forest industry contributes almost $1.6 billion to our state’s economy each year. This document is intended to provide the reader an overview of these forest resources, the issues these resources face and provide a strategic blueprint for focusing private, state and federal resources to the areas of Oklahoma where they will be most effective. This is a living document. As new data becomes available it will be incorporated to provide an even clearer picture of Oklahoma’s tree and forest resources. Additionally, I invite readers and partners to help us make this document better by sharing their thoughts, ideas and perspectives on how to better sustainably managing these resources. I want to thank and acknowledge the contributions of Oklahoma Forestry Services staff, our partners and stakeholders in the development, continuous improvement and implementation of our Forest Action Plan.
