Who We Are

The American Forest Foundation is a national conservation organization that works to empower family forest owners to make a meaningful conservation impact on their land.

Driven by a shared purpose, a focus on verifiable results and a culture of continuous improvement, we strive to cultivate the many conservation benefits family-owned forests provide—and ensure that these benefits are valued, paid for and supported at a national scale. At the end of the day, our dedicated and mission-driven team believes in a future in which family forest owners, conservationists, corporations, community-based organizations and policymakers work together to overcome our nation’s most pressing conservation challenges.
