Mission Statement
Natural resources, such as those provided by the Burnett County Forest, provide part of the base for satisfying the ecological and socioeconomic needs of present and future generations. The mission of the County Forest is to manage and protect these resources by allowing human use as well as the production of renewable resources that are sustainable over the long term.
County Forest resources should be protected from natural catastrophes such as fire, insect and disease outbreaks, and from unregular human uses such as encroachment and environmental degradation. While managing for environmental needs includes watershed protection, protection of rare plant and animal communities, and biological diversity, these same resources must be managed for sociological needs such as recreational opportunities and the production of raw materials for wood-using industries.
Management must balance local needs by integrating recommendations and practices of forestry, wildlife, fisheries, endangered resources, water quality, soil, and recreation. Management will provide this variety of products and amenities for the future through the use of sustainable resource management practices.
