Reforestation of National Forests

Some animals remind you just how vast and alive a landscape can be.
Wetlands, forests, and mountains don't exist in isolation — they're one system. Protecting and restoring any part of it means more habitat, more water, more life for everything that depends on it.

Forest protection works because it preserves entire ecosystems.
When forests stay standing, wildlife doesn’t need to adapt, relocate, or disappear — it can continue to live where it evolved to thrive.

Our field teams across the U.S. work year-round to conserve and restore forests.
From planting new trees to monitoring growth and preventing wildfires, their hands-on work keeps these ecosystems healthy and thriving for the future.

The black bear is one of the many species that call U.S. forests home.
Keeping these forests healthy means giving wildlife the space and balance they need to thrive. It’s a simple reminder of why conserving forest ecosystems matters.

We’re proud that our project contributes to protecting the natural habitats of the Bald Eagle.

By restoring forests, we help ensure these iconic birds have the space they need to nest, hunt, and thrive.

Did you know the Northern Bobwhite Quail is one of the few quail species native to the United States?

Recognizable by its distinctive "bob-white" call, this ground-dwelling bird depends on healthy grasslands and open woodlands to thrive.

Unfortunately, habitat loss has led to

This is the American Beaver.
These little fellas, who are often seen as the enemy of trees, moonlight as ecosystem engineers. As they build their homes and dams across rivers, they create impoundments and wetland areas, which are then used by trout, otters, birds, and bugs.

This is a Gopher Tortoise, native to the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. These professional burrowers need well-drained, sandy soils found in habitats like longleaf pine sandhills, which we are helping protect by planting millions

Originally, the river valley had 25 million acres of hardwood forest, now reduced to 8 million acres, harming the ecosystem and migratory birds. To combat this, we are reforesting the region with local partners, using data to focus on high-impact areas, aiming to restore habitats

Longleaf pines are like bustling nature condos, hosting a lively mix of animals and bugs in places from wet savannas to sandy hills. These sturdy trees are not just tough against winds and wise with water, but they're also champions at keeping their animal buddies safe, thriving

Bald Eagles are North America's majestic feathered celebrities, adding their own special flair to the region's wildlife mix. These winged wonders are like nature's own health check-up team; if they're soaring high and cozy in their nests, it's a big thumbs-up for the environment.

Conservation efforts are vital for preserving the habitats that countless species of fauna depend on. By maintaining and restoring natural environments, we ensure that animals like the squirrel pictured here have the resources they need to survive and thrive.

Native trees play a pivotal role in our national forests. Their decline over the years has had repercussions on local wildlife. Restoring these trees is essential for the survival of various species that rely on them.

Biodiversity, vital for the health of our planet and its inhabitants, is significantly boosted by tree planting. Ecosystems with high biodiversity offer improved air and water quality, stronger resilience to drought and diseases, enhanced food production, and avenues for developing
