We need to put a new dashboard up to make us more accountable to achieving our goals. We have 10x the investments, 10 times x the investments in this space. Two and a half billion dollars has been invested. Over 2,200 projects have been completed or are underway. 1.9 million acres were treated just between 2021 and 2023. 730,000 acres in calendar year 2023 alone. We have never achieved the kind of scale of that kind of investment in the past. (25:36–25:43)
