More about the Equity Action Plan:
The Forest Service Equity Action Plan focuses high-leverage and high-impact actions to improve equity and implement Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities. The Equity Action Plan is the first step in a long-term journey towards integrating equity into Forest Service mission delivery. The equity actions are linked to current agency and Administration priorities (e.g., Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Confronting the Wildfire Crisis Implementation Strategy, Great American Outdoors Act, Justice40 Initiative, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Strategy, and Climate Adaptation Plan).

The ten Action Plans are divided into three themes: Community Service to All, Economic Stability, and Health and Resilience. The Community Service to All Action Plans focus on the relationships needed to build equity, including relationships with Tribes, underserved communities, and hiring and onboarding. The Economic Stability Action Plans will focus on contracting and grants and agreements to create a stable platform to increase economic opportunities in underserved communities as we execute all of our work (including the Equity Action Plan itself). The Health and Resilience Action Plans are centered around the Forest Service value of conservation while bringing Environmental Justice into the decision-making process for conservation actions, funding, and access.

The Equity Core Team will be responsible for tracking progress on all ten Action Plans and providing timely analysis and briefing materials to executive leadership on status of the Equity Action Plan. The Team will also begin developing a Strategic Equity Roadmap that builds and expands on this FS Equity Action Plan that will be critical in connecting the dots for all employees by showing how everyday actions fit within the Forest Service's equitable vision for the future.
