For the last 150 years, we’ve been on a mission: to protect forests and ensure everyone has access to their benefits.
Forests are for:
🌲 drinking water
🌲 communities
🌲 climate
🌲 YOU

A solution we all agree on.
The #FixOurForests Act is backed by a strong coalition of conservation, forestry, insurance, firefighting and community voices. We're calling on Congress to act now: https://t.co/gX9wbmsZIY

Signed into law by President Trump, the Great American Outdoors Act has been a gamechanger for outdoor recreation, hunting, fishing & keeping forests as forests. Restrictions on #LWCF projects must be rescinded. https://t.co/7LIhQLAJpJ @missoulacurrent@SteveDaines@RepRyanZinke
Forest landowners don't need more barriers to keeping forests as forests. The secretarial order on #LWCF from DOI threatens private property rights AND access to public lands for sportsmen, outdoor recreation enthusiasts & local communities. #SaveLWCF
For 5 years, #LWCF funding provided by the Great American Outdoors Act has increased hunting & fishing access across the nation without using taxpayer dollars but now the Dept of the Interior is trying to block #LWCF projects with this secretarial order. https://t.co/mP5bSpWNaB
Thank you to @NatResources leadership @RepTiffany for today’s hearing on federal forests. @AmericanForests supports the Fix Our Forests Act. Let’s work together to reduce #wildfire risks by expanding collaborative tools, supporting innovation & scaling up post-fire reforestation.
👏 👏 Thank you @RepTeresaLF & @Rep_Stansbury for voicing support for State, Private & Tribal Forestry at today’s @NatResources hearing. #SharedStewardship requires cross-boundary collaboration & resources. These programs support the health & resilience of ALL forests. 🌲🌳
Extreme heat is rising, but trees can help. Urge your reps to support bills that expand access to lifesaving shade.
Take action now: https://t.co/U9h0tflcoh
Special thanks to @RepNewhouse for welcoming @AmericanForests' Board members to talk resilient #reforestation for private landowners & Tribes. Together, we can reduce #wildfire risks🔥expand markets💵 improve wildlife habitat🦌& conserve #workingforests for future generations🌲🌳
#EarthMonth is almost over, but our work for forests continues!
🌱🌎 Thanks to @NespressoUSA, we’re restoring forests & growing #TreeEquity—one tree at a time.
🌳💚 Now through 4/30, triple your gift: https://t.co/nYfBIgG3DI
BIG NEWS! The #EXPLOREAct just passed Congress! This bill codifies the #LWCF-funded Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP) program, allows tribes to directly apply for #ORLP funding & expands eligibility to more communities across the country!
Through Forest Legacy, we are supporting states and private landowners as they work to keep forests as forests. In Maine, the nation’s most forested state, we have helped the state conserve 750,000 acres since 1990.
The Rio Grande Valley’s thornforests host 1,200 plant species, 519 bird species, and 45 endangered species, including the ocelot. With only 10% left, restoration is crucial.
Since 1999, we’ve restored 4,000+ acres, planting over 2M native thornforest trees.
Climate change is hitting harder and faster than predicted, threatening our trees and forests.
We’re using data, science & partnerships to adapt and protect our future.

This past weekend, the largest native thornforest community planting event in the U.S. took place in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley.
🌱Over 1,600 volunteers from across the region came together to plant an incredible 15,092 seedlings.
Incredible day at Rio Reforestation, the largest 🌳 planting event in America. Give a listen for how we are replanting stupendously biodiverse Texas thornforest across the Rio Grande Valley, including today’s planting with help from 1500 volunteers.
