Over 60 million acres of National Forests are at high risk of severe wildfire.
Wildfire is a natural part of many forest ecosystems, but after years of built-up fuels, heat waves, and droughts, fires are burning hotter, faster, and more destructive than ever before.
At the National Forest Foundation, we’re working to change that with proactive treatments to lower risk and protect forests and communities.
We carefully thin brush, small trees, and other flammable materials that supply wildfires and put forests and communities at risk.
Once cleared, we bring the wood from our wildfire resilience projects to wood banks and mills to support rural communities and economies.
The NFF brings together federal, state, Tribal, and private partners to reduce fire risk across property boundaries—protecting National Forests and surrounding lands.
