White Mountain Stewardship Project
To date, the White Mountain Stewardship Project has restored 53,110 acres of ponderosa pine forests in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest (ASNF). In 2004, partially as a result of the devastation left behind from the Rodeo-Chediski wildfire, the USDA Forest Service awarded Future Forest LLC with the WMSP. Under the WMSP, Future Forest is charged with managing the reduction of tree density within 150,000 acres of ASNF over the 10-year term of the contract as directed by the United States Forest Service.
The White Mountain Stewardship Contract is the first 10-year contract of its kind in the nation. Its emphasis on large-scale forest restoration has resulted in healthier forests, protection for local communities, enhanced rural development, and the use of previously unmarketable small diameter trees. WMSP dramatically reduces the threat of fires and improves wildlife habitat and watersheds. In addition, it aims to use all residual tree fiber, reducing the need for wood burning in the forest and its accompanying costs, and increasing local community jobs.
The White Mountain project is attributed to an average of 319 jobs directly and indirectly (226 direct and 93 indirect), and contributing an estimated $40 million dollars to the local communities with investments, expenditures and tax revenues.
