Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) are a coastal species that foresters manage habitat and food sources for during forest planning and operations.

With the 2021 wildfire season finally coming to an end and seasonal weather conditions slowly returning, many forest land managers are looking ahead to tree planting season.
