Texas, with more than 261,000 square miles of forests, woodlands, prairies, mountains and deserts, is a great and very blessed state.  Texas Forest Service takes seriously our mission of providing statewide leadership to assure the state's trees, forests and related natural resources are protected and sustained for the benefit of all.

Thank you for your interest in Texas Forest Service and your commitment to conserve the beautiful forests and woodlands of this great state. We invite you to visit often.
