From fresh water to clean air to sweeping vistas of green, America's National Forests offer an incredible array of beauty and values. With all that these lands give us, it's only natural to consider ways that we can give back.

Planting trees on National Forests is a gift that provides benefits for generations. Trees clean the air, produce oxygen and sequester carbon dioxide. They help to clean water for the 123 million Americans who depend on National Forests every time they turn on the tap. Healthy forests sustain critical habitat for diverse wildlife and enhance our cherished outdoor recreation pursuits.

Wildfire, disease and insect outbreaks, hurricanes, and past land uses have impacted millions of acres of forests across the country. Through the NFF's tree-planting program individuals, small businesses, corporations, even school and community groups can help reforest these magnificent lands. participation is easy and every dollar plants at least one tree!
