Forest Service

The Leader in Forestry

Texas A&M Forest Service (TFS) is the leader in forestry for Texas and the nation. We work to ensure the state’s forests, trees, and related natural resources are conserved and continue to provide a sustainable flow of environmental and economic benefits. TFS is also the incident management agency for state disasters such as wildfires, flooding, and hurricanes.

We deliver wildfire response and protection through the Texas Wildfire Protection Plan (TWPP). TWPP is a tested and proven emergency response model emphasizing ongoing analysis, mitigation, prevention, and preparation, followed by a coordinated and rapid response. With legislative support, we are working to expand the plan, increasing the number of personnel and emergency response resources throughout the state.
