It’s true. Together, forest owners across the U.S. plant more than one billion seedlings each year. #TreePlanting #ModernAmericanForestry #EarthDay

Check out ForestCarbonDataViz.org, an award-winning data visualization powered by NCASI’s expert data analysis and the latest info from USDA Forest Service. Designed to make complex data accessible, we know it works because we showed it to our moms and they got it. Here’s what

This seedling may look small now, but in a few years, it’ll be taller than a house. Modern forestry works in cycles: we grow, harvest and replant. And by replanting more than we harvest, forests remain forests. #TreePlanting #ModernAmericanForestry #Sustainability

It’s a common misconception that we're “running out of forests.” We hear it all the time, but it’s incorrect. In the U.S. today, private working forest owners are growing 53% more than they harvest. They also provide 90% of the total harvest while practicing some of the highest

What forests hear every time it rains: “Time to do literally everything.” Forests only cover 34% of U.S. land but deliver 50% of our nation’s water. That’s not a coincidence. It’s the result of nature’s brilliance and sustainable forest management. #NaturalOverachievers

.NAFO Forests members were on Capitol Hill this week advocating for science-based forest management and a sustainable forest products market. This committee is working on bipartisan legislation to reduce catastrophic wildfires and keep our forests healthy and working.

Forests actively enhance water quality. They filter out sediment, bacteria, and pollutants, while their root systems stabilize soil and prevent erosion. Communities and ecosystems throughout the U.S. depend on forests for abundant, clean water. That’s why we manage forests

When mills close and local markets for forest products disappear, forest management suffers. Combined with dry conditions, invasive pests, and strong winds, the result is a perfect storm for devastating wildfires. “The biggest problem we have is we don’t have the markets and the

Conservation doesn’t just happen in parks. Thanks to the Wildlife Conservation Initiative (WCI), it’s happening on private working forests nationwide—where species conservation and sustainability are part of the management plan. The WCI is bringing landowners, scientists, and

Private working forests, including those managed by NAFO members, are a powerful climate solution. They store nearly half the carbon in U.S. forests and supply 90% of the nation’s timber — extending carbon storage from forests into long-lived products like homes, buildings, and

Forests help regulate water flow—slowing rainfall, filtering it through soil, and sustaining nearby streams and bodies of water. NAFO members follow strict sustainability standards and state-approved best management practices to protect aquatic ecosystems and water supply.

While forests cover only about 34% of the total U.S. land area, they supply 50% of the nation’s available water. More than 150 million Americans (!!!) rely on forested watersheds for their drinking water. But wait... that's not all. Forests also actively enhance water quality.

We talk about reducing wildfire risk all the time, part of that includes constructing fuel breaks. Now, if you’ve never seen one, it might be hard to understand what we’re talking about. Well, if you want to see one… it’s your lucky day. Check out what SPI is up to!
