About Us
Mission: 

The National Forest Foundation, chartered by Congress, engages Americans in community-based and national programs that promote the health and public enjoyment of the 193-million-acre National Forest System, and administers private gifts of funds and land for the benefit of the National Forests.

Programs: 

America’s National Forests and Grasslands represent the centerpiece of our country’s public lands. We face an urgent need for action. 

The goals for our three-year strategy are ambitious. We will build on our existing work to restore forest health and improve outdoor experiences, and we add an overarching goal around engaging millions more Americans to join us. We will pursue these goals with an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, resulting in the benefit of a broad diversity of communities and particularly those that have historically been underrepresented in public lands.

  • We will invest more in on-the-ground projects to improve the health of our National Forests. We will accelerate and broaden our on-the-ground action to increase carbon sequestration and water replenishment and to restore more acres.
  • We will triple our impact on National Forest recreation infrastructure, expanding the capacity for more people to love the forests without negatively impacting forest health.
  • We will engage millions more Americans in personal and meaningful relationships with National Forests. Our reach will be digital, in-person and through partners. We will focus on communicating with and through a broader diversity of Americans and we will engage millions more than before to build a constituency that demands and works for healthy forests.
Why Work For Us?: 

We are committed to ensuring our organizational culture is inclusive and equitable so we can attract, retain, and engage a diverse group of staff, fellows, board members, and contractors in the challenging work of innovating sustaining solutions to a resilient National Forest System.
