"The 2015 [Forest Action Plan] FAP is based on the Nebraska Statewide Forest Resource Assessment and Strategy conducted by the NFS in 2010. The FAP identifies key issues of prime importance to our tree and forest resources, updates forested areas of high priority for intervention, describes a range of accomplishments achieved since 2010 in implementing the first Statewide Forest Resource Assessment and Strategy, and presents a wealth of strategic goals, opportunities and actions for sustainably managing these critically important resources .... The Nebraska FAP identifies strategic goals based on national objectives collaboratively crafted by both the National Association of State Foresters and the [United States Forest Service] USFS State & Private Forestry Program. The strategic goals and actions identified in this document serve as a blueprint for focusing private, state and federal resources in areas of Nebraska where they will be most effective" (page 1).

Results of the first annual inventory of Nebraska's forests (2001-05) show an estimated 1.24 million acres of forest land; 1.17 million acres meet the definition of timberland. Softwood forest types account for one-third of all forest land area, with ponderosa pine being the most prevalent type. Hardwood forest types comprise 58 percent of Nebraska's forest land. Elm/ash/cottonwood is the predominant forest-type group in the State, accounting for 26 percent of all forest land area. Live-tree volume on timberland increased from 1.3 to 1.8 billion cubic feet between the 1994 and 2005 inventories. This report includes information on forest attributes, forest health, and agents of change: the introduction of nonnative invasive plants, insects and diseases, and the rapid expansion of eastern red cedar.
