National Forest Foundation

Description

Our National Forests and Grasslands are at the core of America's natural riches, and yet, today these treasures are threatened by unprecedented challenges. Working with the U.S. Forest Service and partners, our goal is to leverage our best thinking, conservation capacity and community action to measurably improve the health of our National Forests and Grasslands.

Core values guide our work. In all of our strategies, we strive to:

• Unite the power of diverse interests and communities in collaborative stewardship;
• Restore ecosystems to their natural resiliency and functions through on-the-ground conservation;
• Engage Americans, young and old, in recognizing the gifts of our National Forests and Grasslands and in caring for them;
• Sustain the commitment and ability of communities to serve as stewards by building the capacity of collaborative organizations; and
• Add value where action would not otherwise be taken.
