March 8, 2025 - The Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) reports on March 1, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order to stimulate U.S. timber production.
The order directs the USDA, the U.S. Department of the Interior, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to develop plans for eliminating delays in timber production, including setting new targets for timber sales from federally managed lands over the next four years.
The order also encourages the use of tools like the Good Neighbor Authority and stewardship contracting to help facilitate more efficient timber management.
While still too soon to determine the full impact, the order may hold potential to stimulate economic growth in rural communities.
