This year, the Northern Region’s annual report is even available in a number of ebook formats. Here’s the official announcement . . .
The Northern Region’s 2013 Year in Review highlights a wide range of feature articles, information and photos that showcase national programs and priorities at work on the ground here in the Northern Rockies. This overview features numerous partnership and collaborative projects and national emphasis programs that have taken hold and are growing in scope each year in the Region.
The review features write-ups and photos about individual projects at the district and forest level, as well as national initiatives and program accomplishments that cross management and state boundaries. The contents highlight how these efforts improve forest health, revitalize resilient landscapes and restore watershed functions in projects whose impacts literally span coast to coast.
The 2013 Year in Review also contains information submitted by partner and collaborative groups, further conveying the improved results the agency has seen through these multi-layer partner and collaborative efforts across the Region.
The publication is available as a .pdf document, and also available in limited traditional hard copy format from most national forests and grasslands, as well as major visitor center locations.
Incorporating new technology for today’s mobile audiences, the Forest Service’s Northern Region has released its 2013 Year in Review in electronic format on a variety of smart phones and other handheld and tablet devices.
