    TESTIMONY of RANDY MOORE, REGIONAL FORESTER PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE—FOREST SERVICE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM—SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT August 20, 2019 Concerning WILDFIRE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS IN CALIFORNIA Chairman Rouda, Ranking Member and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss wildfire response and recovery efforts in California. My testimony today will focus on the 2017-2018 fire seasons, as well as the forecasted 2019 wildfire activity this summer and fall. I will also provide an overview of the Forest Service’s wildfire mitigation strategies, including ways the Forest Service is working with its many partners to improve forest conditions and help communities prepare for wildfire. 2017 AND 2018 WILDIRES AND RELATED RECOVERY EFFORTS In the past two years, California has experienced the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in its recorded history. More than 17,000 wildfires burned over three million acres across all land ownerships, which is almost three percent of California’s land mass. These fires tragically killed 146 people, burned down tens of thousands of homes and businesses and destroyed billions of dollars of property and infrastructure. In California alone, the Forest Service spent $860 million on fire suppression in 2017 and 2018. In 2017, wind-driven fires in Napa and neighboring counties in Northern California tragically claimed more than 40 lives, burned over 245,000 acres, destroyed approximately 8,900 structures and had over 11,000 firefighters assigned. In Southern California, the Thomas Fire burned over 280,000 acres, destroying over 1,000 structures and forced approximately 100,000 people to evacuate.

  • Choosing a Forester
    Choosing a Forester Choosing the right forester has important long-term consequences for your property. The advice a forester gives, and the advice you choose to pursue, can effect your woods for 30, 40, 50 years -- or longer. The forester will visit your property, talk with you about your expectations and create a forest management plan that refl ects your goals. Educating Yourself Before you can choose the right forester for you, you fi rst need to know: -- what you can do on your property, and -- what you want to do. To better understand your forest land and your options, tap into local resources to help you discover your property’s potential. The Watershed Agricultural Council’s Forestry Program The Forestry Program can also help you with a Watershed Forest Management Plan or other cost- share programs. www.nycwatershed.org . Workshops . Master Forest Owners (MFO) Master Forest Owners are trained landowners who will walk your property with you, share what they see, answer questions, give advice and introduce you to others who can help. www.dnr.cornell.edu/ext/mfo . Catskill Forest Association (CFA) www.catskillforest.org . New York Forest Owners Association (NYFOA) www.nyfoa.org .

All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form, by print, photocopy, microfilm or any other means, without written permission from the publisher. First edition: 2006 Author: Tinde van Andel Illustrator: Bertha Valois V. Design: Eva Kok Translation: Ninette de Zylva (editing) Printed by: Digigrafi, Wageningen, the Netherlands ISBN Agromisa: 90-8573-027-9 ISBN CTA: 92-9081-327-X Foreword Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are wild plant and animal pro- ducts harvested from forests, such as wild fruits, vegetables, nuts, edi- ble roots, honey, palm leaves, medicinal plants, poisons and bush meat. Millions of people – especially those living in rural areas in de- veloping countries – collect these products daily, and many regard selling them as a means of earning a living. This Agrodok presents an overview of the major commercial wild plant products from Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. It explains their significance in traditional health care, social and ritual values, and forest conservation. It is designed to serve as a useful source of basic information for local forest dependent communities, especially those who harvest, process and market these products. We also hope that this Agrodok will help arouse the awareness of the potential of NTFPs among development organisations, local NGOs, government officials at local and regional level, and extension workers assisting local communities. Case studies from Cameroon, Ethiopia, Central and South Africa, the Pacific, Colombia and Suriname have been used to help illustrate the various important aspects of commercial NTFP harvesting.

Special thanks to Robert Wright (Tennessee Department of Agricul- tural Forestry Division) and Wayne Clatterbuck and Donald Hodges (The University of Tennessee) for contributions on cost estimates and financial analysis. The Cooperative Extension Service of the United States Department of Agriculture provided funds for the original development of the Tree Crops for Marginal Farmland project. 4 Tree Crops for Marginal Farmland Many producers would like to increase farm income and decrease income variability. A growing number of farmers are investigating new and diversified sources of income. A resource that has not been tapped to its full potential is marginal farmland, specifically its use for growing tree crops. More than 30 million acres of woodland, idle pasture and cropland exist on Southeast farms, and much of this land could be producing valuable tree crops.

  • Small-Scale Harvesting for Woodland Owners
    Small-Scale Harvesting for Woodland Owners EM 9129 • December 2015 Steve Bowers, Francisca Belart ogging and selling timber can appear to be a complex and somewhat esoteric task for many Lsmall woodland owners. Most owners are well- versed in tree planting, vegetation control, and stand management, but planning a timber harvest and selling the logs is a process that occurs infrequently and uses terminology some owners find confusing. Terms like feller, buncher, Scribner, merch, cull, and long-butting are not often used in everyday conversation. Logging and selling timber in small volumes on small acreages comes with its own unique challenges and opportunities. Equipment, harvest unit layout, and merchandising are aspects of small harvest operations that can be especially difficult to manage. Although small-scale harvests can be economically In small-scale harvesting, contractors often subcontract driven like most larger harvesting operations, just self-loading log trucks because the small volumes don’t as often, the primary objective might be something justify moving a loader onto the site. such as creating a park, improving wildlife habitat, conducting an early thinning, removing dead or (MBF) of timber. In contrast, most small woodland defective trees, clearing a building site, or eliminat- owner operations amount to no more than 100 MBF, ing hazard trees. With objectives other than timber and many harvests are less than 20 MBF.

We analyzed the abundance of tree species providing NTFPs, recognized by local H’mong people, in both the strictly protected core zone and the low-intensity forest use buffer zone in north-western Vietnam. We identified 249 tree species, of which 48% were classified as NTFP species. The abundance of 35% of the NTFP tree species was significantly correlated with footpaths, indicating an influence of human activity. A multiple logistic regression model indicates that using NTFP trees for food, medicine, and root harvesting, increases the probability of an NTFP tree absence in the buffer zone. In contrast, the high density of species, and collections of fruit, leaf, and resin decrease the probability of an NTFP tree absence in the buffer zone. Further assessment with a logistic model indicated that NTFP use has lower impacts on the tree community than timber use.
