The mission of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands for the benefit of present and future generations. This includes managing public lands in national forests and grasslands, providing recreational opportunities, protecting ecosystems, and promoting sustainable forestry practices. The USFS aims to balance ecological health with the economic needs of communities and the public.
Easterly Government Properties owns USFS I – Albuquerque and USFS II – Albuquerque, which collectively form the national administrative headquarters for the United States Forest Service and houses human resources, budget and finance, acquisition management, civil rights, and computers and technology departments. Both buildings are Energy Star and LEED Gold certified.
