What We Do

The NFF leads with impact and centers its

Build Wildfire Resilience

Wildfires can be unpredictable, but the NFF stays prepared. We work to reduce wildfire impact by collaborating with local communities and partners to fortify forests, protect nearby homes, and maintain habitats.

Restore Lands and Watersheds

Healthy forests mean clean water for one in three Americans. The NFF restores native habitats, repairs streams, and plants millions of new trees to reinvigorate and protect these vital resources.
