Restore Large Forest Landscapes
Climate change-induced wildfires, droughts, diseases and pests are destroying our forests. We plant the right trees in the right places — and take care of them in the right way — so forests can withstand a changing climate.
Create Tree Equity In America’s Cities
In most cities across America, trees are sparse in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods and some neighborhoods of color. This exacerbates social inequities. Together, we can create Tree Equity by planting and caring for trees where they are most needed.
Join the Trillion Trees Movement
American Forests and the World Economic Forum are leading 1t.org, a global movement to conserve, restore and grow 1 trillion trees around the world by 2030.
Companies, governments and nonprofits across the U.S. are doing their part to bring back our forests. And now, it’s never been easier to get involved.
