USFS: The phrase, “Caring for the Land and Serving People,” captures the Forest Service mission. As set forth in law, the mission is to achieve quality land management under the sustainable multiple-use management concept to meet the needs of people. 

The mission of the Watershed and Fisheries Department of the US Forest Service, Cherokee National Forest, is to conserve and restore healthy fish populations and aquatic resources within national forests and grasslands, ensuring the sustainability of these ecosystems by managing habitats, working with partners, and providing opportunities for public enjoyment through fishing and other water-based recreation.
