FORESTS is the nation's oldest nonprofit citizen conservation organization,
founded in 1875 by citizens concerned about waste and abuse of the
nation's forests. Our mission today remains helping people improve the environment with trees and forests. We work to ensure a sustainable future for our nation's forests - both urban and rural - through national and international tree planting, forest policy, urban forestry, and popular programs, such as The National Register of Big Trees and Famous & Historic Trees. Our work is made possible by generous contributions from concerned individuals, corporations and other funders. |
