On April 4, 2025, the Secretary of Agriculture issued Secretary's Memorandum 1078-006 to implement President Trump's Executive Order 14225 (Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production). The secretarial order directs the U.S. Forest Service to "field leadership to increase timber outputs, simplify permitting, remove National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) processes, reduce implementation and contracting burdens, and to work directly with states, local government, and forest product producers to ensure that the Forest Service delivers a reliable and consistent supply of timber." The order also seeks to improve wildfire management.
