Global ReLeaf Forests Clean Our Water
Trees filter and purify water, making it safer for people and wildlife. Especially important are streamside forests - also known as 'riparian buffers.' They play a special role in protecting our streams, rivers, lakes and other water bodies. AMERICAN FORESTS makes a special effort to plant trees in projects that do this important work.
