A new Tribal workforce uses biomass from forest restoration projects to heat homes of community elders.
It's a partnership between the USDA Forest Service (@UsdaForest), the National Forest Foundation (@NationalForests), and the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes. Watch a video here: #itcomesfromatree #woodforlife #bioenergy #forestproud #sustainability

New data from the @forestservice shows that, in 2022, forests and forest products sequestered the carbon equivalent to approximately 14% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and 17.6% of U.S. CO2 emissions. That’s why forests are a key climate solution.

These projects will plant more than 164,000 native trees and restore 16 miles of streamside forest, in turn bolstering the habitats of native species.

We are thinking of those impacted by the #SoCal fires and are grateful for the efforts of those fighting them. To those in the affected areas, please stay safe and follow all local safety guidance.
More than 15,000 dedicated firefighters, law enforcement, and emergency support personnel are tirelessly working to combat the wildfires in Southern California. While smoke has cleared in most of the areas impacted by the Eaton and Palisades Fires, evacuations and curfews remain in place. Officials are maintaining these precautions to prepare for potential fire activity, complete damage inspections, complete critical infrastructure repairs, and address hazards like fallen trees and downed utility lines. Crews are working around the clock to facilitate these necessary duties. Stay informed and follow local guidance. Learn more on how you can be prepared for any emergency at #SoCalFires #EmergencyResponse #LAFires

A wood building material can be used in high-rise structures, giving it the potential to replace materials that are bad for the climate, while also locking carbon into buildings for decades.
