National Forest Foundation

About

At the heart of what we do is a culture of stewardship and community engagement. The National Forest Foundation (NFF) was established by Congress in 1992 to promote and preserve America’s National Forests and Grasslands. We believe that these lands are a fundamental part of our national identity and hold immense ecological and social value. The NFF works diligently to bridge the gap between the public and their cherished natural resources, fostering personal connections to the vast and varied landscapes of our National Forest System. With a commitment to restoration and conservation, we lead collaborative efforts with local communities, organizations, and government agencies to enhance forest health and promote responsible recreation. Our mission is underpinned by core values that emphasize unity, inclusivity, and sustainability, ensuring that every voice counts in discussions surrounding forest management and conservation strategies. From planting millions of trees to restoring vital watersheds, we mobilize resources and partners to address the urgent challenges facing our forests. Join us in our pledge to empower communities and to work tirelessly for the health of our public lands for generations to come.
