Federal and state natural resource agencies continue to reforest their lands. In addition, they have become heavily involved in promoting reforestation on private lands through initiatives such as the Wetland Reserve Program, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Partners for Wildlife Program, and the North American Waterfowl Management Plan.
