This strategy describes how Forest Service programs can better coordinate to
improve the use of woody biomass in tandem with forest management activities on
both Federal and private lands. Although the focus is on the use of woody biomass,
the primary broader objective is sustaining healthy and resilient forests that will
survive an environment of natural disturbances and threats including climate
change. The strategy details four goals: building partnerships, developing and
applying new science and technology, expanding markets for bioenergy and
biobased products, and facilitating a reliable and predictable supply of biomass.
