Forestry Services

 

Oklahoma Forestry Services’ mission is to conserve, enhance and protect Oklahoma’s forests and natural resources for present and future generations.  To fulfill this mission, our foresters provide technical assistance to individuals and communities to increase active conservation management. Active conservation management improves forest and natural resource productivity and ensures long term health so that all Oklahomans continue to enjoy these resources. Forestry Services is also the State’s primary agency responsible for wildland fire detection, suppression, prevention, and investigation.  Forestry Services’ firefighters provide wildfire initial attack on 6.4 million acres in all or parts of fifteen eastern Oklahoma counties. Wildland firefighting assistance to fire departments across the remainder of the state is provided in the form of wildland firefighting crews, aircraft, and tactical support when needed for wildfires.
