on public lands to conserve, restore, and sustain natural habitats within various ecosystems. To
maintain, improve, and construct recreational facilities including camp sites, trails, access points,
and other significant projects to benefit the users of public lands (National Forest, National Parks,
Bureau of Land Management public lands, and city and county government public lands). To perform work
that will improve habitat for Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive species and improve forest health
and sustain forest ecosystems through thinning, restoration, and planting. To assist in disaster
relief and recovery efforts when requested in the areas of flood control, forest firefighting, and
earthquake events. To provide environmental education opportunities and education to the public that
reside within the forest as well as those who live adjacent to or outside the National Forest. To
