Decades of unsustainable use, extreme weather events, and the changing composition of forest ecosystems threaten the public landscapes we cherish, leaving them vulnerable to catastrophic wildfire, disease, drought, and overuse.
At the National Forest Foundation (NFF), we transform America’s love of nature into action for National Forests. As the congressionally-chartered nonprofit partner of the U.S. Forest Service, we roll up our sleeves and help our federal partner implement projects at scale, leveraging private support to match public dollars.
We are proactively thinning brush, small trees, and other flammable materials that fuel dangerous wildfires from forests at the greatest risk, protecting lives, habitat, and property in surrounding communities.
We are repairing and healing the lands and waters that sustain us—bringing back vibrant forests, flowing streams, and resilient habitats for future generations.
We are rebuilding world-class recreation systems to welcome and guide the 170 million Americans that visit National Forests and Grasslands every year—ensuring National Forests remain safe, accessible, and enjoyable for all.
