WE help FORESTS thrive
American Forests has been protecting and restoring forests for more than 140 years.
Together we can make a difference:
One tree at a time, one acre at a time, one forest at a time.

PRIORITY ISSUES
From climate change and equity to biodiversity and water availability, forests are at the center of our most important environmental challenges.


Climate
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.
