In addition to wildfire management, the Virginia Department of Forestry supports landowners through technical assistance in forest management, conservation practices, and economic growth in the forest industry. Their programs aim to maintain healthy forest ecosystems, protect water quality, and promote sustainable forestry practices for the benefit of both people and wildlife in Virginia.
