Planet

Forests are essential to a healthier planet.

They clean our air and water, provide wildlife habitat, store carbon, and build climate resilience in the face of wildfire, drought, and development. Through stewardship and science, communities across the country are using forests to tackle real-world challenges and build a better future. #forestproud shines a light on these efforts, connecting people to the environmental benefits forests provide today and for generations to come.
