Help a sea turtle. Keep forests as forests. Make a #forestproud choice. #choosepaper #nationalforestproductsweek #paperbags #paper #recycle #reducewaste #forestproducts

[NAFO Forests @NAFO_Forests]

Wood products fight climate change, and the economic markets for them incentivize tree planting.

In the USA, we have had a growing population and demand for wood... but have also enjoyed increasing forests since 1952! #WeReplant #forestproud #modernforestry

[NAFO Forests @NAFO_Forests]

The working forests in the USA provide more than just a steady supply of renewable wood products, a place for Bigfoot to hide, and 2.5 million jobs.

Our forests also act as a massive carbon sink.

[Joanna Foat - Speaker & Author🌲🪓 The Lumberjills @jofoat]

IT was during Britain’s darkest hour, as our island nation stood briefly alone as a bulwark to the Nazi assault on Europe and beyond, that a group of women from all walks of life answered the call to war - The Women’s Timber Corps aka the Lumberjills. https://t.co/896uEeBKJ3

[NAFO Forests @NAFO_Forests]

The choices we make as individuals matter.

Choosing sustainably sourced forest products over non-renewable and unsustainable alternatives is a way we can all make an impact.

The USA is a world leader in sustainable forestry practices. #modernforestry

[Heather Druffel @DruffelHeather]

Sustaining our forests takes all of us! Through collaboratives and strategic and sustainable planning we can keep our forests forested! #workingforests #forestproud #forests

[International Paper @IntlPaperCo]

Trees give us oxygen, store carbon, provide habitats for wildlife and so much more! #LoveATreeDay

We are proud to collaborate with organizations such as @World_Wildlife, @NFWFnews, @nature_org and @ArborDay to work towards our shared goal of #SustainingForests.

[Heather Druffel @DruffelHeather]

Innovative solutions to today’s problems, all stemming from our forests!

[Simon Bridge @srjbridge]

What’s great about this is that previously, all that sawmill residual was burned in an incinerator and the heat lost to the air, now they’re capturing that heat and creating enough energy to power 14,000 homes with no added CO2, plus offsets from not using fossil fuels

[Heather Druffel @DruffelHeather]

Be prepared for fire season! It is important that we all stay aware of our surroundings and work together to prevent unnecessary wildfires. #wildfire #stayaware #managedforestsarehealthyforests #workingforests

[Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) @ORForests]

Nearly 1,000 acres have burned on ODF-protected lands in 2019 so far

Forests can do so much for our #mentalhealth! Head to a forest for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek for some clarity, and soak in all the wonderful benefits nature has to offer! #forestproud #forests

[It Takes A Forest @ItTakesAForest]

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and @ForestryEngland is eager to share the many benefits of our forests! Research shows that 2-3 short jaunts to woods & forests dramatically improve mental as well as physical health. #ItTakesAForest to improve our health! https://t.co/YmJbDCaOVF

[Enviva @Enviva]

New data from @NAFO_Forests shows that private working forests support a staggering 2.5 million jobs, $109 billion in payroll, and $288 billion in sales and manufacturing. #ForestProud #GrowMoreTrees

Innovative #solutions to a problem than can affect us all! #forestproud #wildfire #keepforestsforested

[American Forest Foundation @AmForestFndn]

Reducing #wildfire risk on private land in the West can cost more than $2,500 an acre. AFF and partners are helping #landowners overcome this barrier by tapping into the #biomass market to help offset a portion of the cost.

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing form of food production – making it a key economic, social and environmental issue.

[Heather Druffel @DruffelHeather]

Shared stewardship and collaborative efforts are substantially more effective than using the court system to slow down or prevent management. Come to the table together to address conflicting priorities to find a solution that works for all! #workingforest #Sustainable

“Shared Stewardship is about working together in an integrated way to make decisions and take actions on the land.” - USDA Forest Service Chief Vicki Christiansen https://t.co/wEfLuEiWU6

Congrats Wayne! Getting people into our #forests is instrumental in helping people better understand forestry, re-connect to nature, and derive the many benefits trees have to offer. #getoutside #nature #trails

[WillametteNatlForest @willametteNF]

Congratulations to Wayne Chevalier!

Wayne received the 2019 Outstanding Trail Leader Award for the State of Oregon. This award recognizes individuals who have made compelling and significant contributions to the trails movement in their home states.

Healthy forests for a health community! Let’s keep the intense smoke from #wildfires out the air this summer by actively managing and thinning our #forests. #forestproud #activeforests

[NAFO Forests @NAFO_Forests]

We snapped this picture while visiting a stand being thinned.

Active forest management keeps forests healthy! #forestproud #modernforestry

[Arbor Day Foundation @arborday]

The benefits of tree planting: carbon sink.

I didn’t know there were 38 different species of trillium; and it’s one of my favorite #flowers! Trillium is one part of the thriving #biodiversity in many of our #workingforests !

[National Forest Fdn. @NationalForests]

Did you know there are 38 species of Trillium represented within the United States? Trilliums have 3 petals and 3 sepals and belong to the lily family. Most species bloom in late spring. Have you seen Trillium in a nearby National Forest? #NationalWildflowerWeek

[Jad Daley @JadDaley]

The original #GreenJobs are in our #Forests! Working forests work for our economy and our environmental priorities like #ActOnClimate, clean water, and wildlife. @AmericanForests #ForestProud

[Heather Druffel @DruffelHeather]

Be mindful as we prepare for another intense fire season this year, which is already starting. Make sure you are aware of what you can do to prevent forest fires

[Oregon Forestry @ORDeptForestry]

Please RT for awareness --> Conditions look & feel more like mid-fire season than early May - we already have increased 🔥 activity across #Oregon. Don't let the calendar distract you from doing your part to #prevent #wildfires & #KeepOregonGreen!
