American ReLeaf helps restore forests in the U.S. that have been damaged or degraded. To date, we have planted more than 40 million trees in all 50 states.

Through Global ReLeaf, we have restored forestland in nearly 50 countries, helping provide clean water, make communities more resilient and expand wildlife habitat.

The Wildlands for Wildlife initiative works to restore wildlife habitat in seven critical forest ecosystems across North America on a larger, regional scale.

Community ReLeaf aims to bring national attention to the value of urban forests and reaches geographically and culturally diverse communities across the U.S.

CRITICAL ISSUES

From climate change to biodiversity, air quality to water availability, forests are at the center of the most important environmental challenges we face today.

Wildlife

When forests are destroyed, wildlife is threatened. Most of our restoration projects involve a wildlife habitat component, including restoration efforts for threatened and endangered species.

Learn more

Climate

Forests and trees slow climate change by storing carbon, but climate change also makes forests more vulnerable. We work to restore forests to be more resilient and better withstand climate change.

Learn more

RECREATION

Activities such as hiking, camping and fishing give us a deeper appreciation for the natural world and make us healthier and less stressed. That’s why we promote sustainable recreation in forests.

WATER

Water

We all rely on forests for clean water. Our restoration projects benefit major U.S. watersheds and protect our valuable water resources by restoring and augmenting riparian buffers.

CITIES

Cities

Forests aren’t merely destinations, but interwoven in our everyday lives. Our work expands tree canopy cover and access to greenspace in cities across America, improving public health and overall quality of life.
