Short-term Savings Could Be Dwarfed by Long-term Costs to Ag Productivity and Environment WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President Obama's congressional budget request to slash funding for Farm Bill conservation programs in Fiscal Year 2013 by about $600 million could cost more than it saves in the long term, according to a leading conservation group. Farm Bill conservation programs assist farmers, ranchers and private forest landowners in adopting land management practices that improve water quality and wildlife habitat and help maintain the long-term sustainability of their operations by reducing soil erosion and improving soil health.
The Forest Service has finalized the development of an internal directive to Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2900 for invasive species management. This final invasive species management directive will provide foundational comprehensive guidance for the management of invasive species on aquatic and terrestrial areas of the National Forest System (NFS).

COLUMBUS -- The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has finalized agreements that will permanently protect from development 15,896 acres of forest land in Vinton County. The landscape-size tract will remain a working forest where timber is harvested and the public will be given access for fishing, hunting and other recreation, ODNR said.
BETHEL -- Selectmen on Monday evening will review an amendment to the administration ordinance that would allow the board to create an oversight committee for the Bingham Forest management plan.

Private homes expanding into wooded lands change forest- management goals. Fire and ponderosa pine forests have gone together in New Mexico like red chile and posole. One was good for the other.
The sale of 1.1 million acres of woodland by International Paper Co. to a private forest investment management company is significant for its size and because of the implications such future sales can have for Maine. IP sold the land, which includes about 25,000 acres in New Hampshire, to the New Zealand-based GMO Renewable Resources. The company will provide wood fiber to IP's mills in Jay and Bucksport while IP continues to manage the land. GMO is committed to upholding sound forestry management practices and keeping public access for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and other recreation.
The Forest Service will prepare an EIS to determine and analyze the effects of the proposed Bordertown 120 kilovolt (kV) Transmission Line project on people and the environment. The project would consist of the construction and operation of approximately 10 miles of new 120 kV overhead transmission line between NV Energy's existing Bordertown and California Substations. To accommodate the new transmission line, the project would also include improvements to both substations. The majority of the route would cross National Forest System land managed by the Forest Service, with shorter segments crossing private land and public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
