“First let me say that I am a huge supporter of the enterprise team concept in the Forest Service.  I believe that the demand for enterprise teams will greatly increase in the near future.  It is impossible even for a large forest such as the Humboldt-Toiyabe NF to maintain a pool of employees with all the skills we need to accomplish specific projects. We routinely rely on enterprise teams to help us accomplish short term projects" - Stephanie Phillips - Deputy Forest Supervisor Humboldt-Toiyabe National Recreation Area
