The Forest Environment Program manages 40,000 acres of state-owned rural forestland, and coordinates a statewide forest fire protection plan, provides
forest fire protection on state lands, assists rural volunteer fire departments, and develops forest and wildlife management plans for private landowners who
choose to manage their property in ways that will protect these resources on their land. The Program promotes public understanding of environmental
conservation, enforces Department rules and regulations on DEM lands, and assists the federal government in providing landowner assistance programs.
Moreover, additional DFE mandates are to monitor and recommend controls for insects and disease, to work with communities promoting urban tree health, to
license arborists, and to certify forest land under the state's Farm, Forest and Open Space Act.
