The mission of the Florida Forest Service is to protect and manage the forest resources of Florida, ensuring that they will be available for future generations.

We manage over 1 million acres of state forests for multiple public uses, including timber, recreation and wildlife habitat.

We offer technical information and grant programs to landowners to help them improve their forestland. Through wildfire prevention and suppression, we work to protect homeowners from the threat of damage in a natural, fire-dependent environment.
