- Mission [1]
- By recommending projects that maintain and improve the health of national forest ecosystems and improve cooperative relationships
among the people who use and care for the national forests, the Secure Rural Schools resource advisory committees support
the Forest Service mission to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation’s forests and grasslands to meet
the needs of present and future generations. The committees specifically support Forest Service strategic goals to 1. Restore,
sustain, and enhance the national forests; and 2. Provide and sustain benefits to the American people. was established for
two purposes: (1) to improve collaborative relationships among the people who use and care for the National Forests and the
Forest Service, which manages the lands; and (2) to provide advice and recommendations to the Forest Service in identifying
and implementing broadly supported land management projects that maintain existing infrastructure, enhance forest ecosystems,
and improve land health and water quality. The RAC directly supports the agency's mission goal for ecosystem health: to "Promote
ecosystem health and conservation using a collaborative approach to sustain the Nation's forest, grasslands, and watersheds."
