Delivering meaningful conservation impact through the empowerment of family forest landowners.
About us
The American Forest Foundation (AFF) is a national conservation organization that works to deliver clean water, wildlife habitat, carbon sequestration and storage, and sustainable wood supplies to those that value it, by empowering family forest owners to care for their land. AFF is the only conservation group working on a national level across a wide range of partners to empower family forest owners to cultivate conservation impact in their forests, and to ensure that impact is valued, paid for and supported. We develop strategies, solutions and partnerships to that help landowners overcome the challenges they face to creating well-managed forests. The American Forest Foundation oversees the American Tree Farm System, the Family Forest Carbon Program, My Sierra Woods and many other programs.

"When we think of carbon sequestration in the context of forests, we often think of the carbon being stored sort of in the roots, in the leaves, in the trees themselves. We can modify the way we steward forests through Improved Forest Management to suck that CO2 out of the atmosphere," says Brittany VanderWall, CF, an AFF forester working with the Family Forest Carbon Program.
