Over half of L.A. County's population lives in areas with high park needs. Some long-time residents have never visited the Angeles National Forest, which is right on the city’s doorstep. NFF's Field Ranger Program aims to change that by helping county residents overcome some of the hurdles to enjoying their public lands. #LatinoConservationWeek 🌲 Learn more about the Field Ranger Program by visiting https://lnkd.in/gmXiytus

Some people listen to whale sounds, we listen to the peaceful sounds of stream bed restoration. In 2024, the NFF and the U.S. Forest Service began work on the first phase of our multi-year plan to repair degraded stream beds and remove encroaching Eastern red cedar on the Grassland. By restoring this critical ecosystem, we can increase drought tolerance for the region, decrease the severity of downstream water shortages, and support the abundance and diversity of native plant and animal species! 🚧 Learn more about the restoration work the NFF is doing on the LBJ by visiting https://lnkd.in/gu99Khzp
Welcome to NFF, Dieter Fenkart-Froeschl! 🎉
I am thrilled to announce that effective November 1, I will step into the role of President & CEO of the National Forest Foundation. What an absolute honor. NFF is the official non-profit partner of the USDA Forest Service and leads with impact. The Foundation's work today is more critical than ever, focusing on climate resiliency, clean watersheds and recreation for all. NFF's mission speaks to me at a personal level and I sincerely look forward to partnering with the NFF board and staff, with Chief Randy Moore and his team, and with the many partners around the country to make our national forests and grasslands more climate resilient and more welcoming to all. Thank you to the NFF Search Committee Robert Leary Allie S. Kline Janice Innis-Thompson Bob Wheeler for your leadership. Thank you to all my mentors, supervisors, colleagues and friends who guided and counseled me on my journey thus far. I stand on your shoulders.

We are thrilled to announce Dieter Fenkart-Froeschl as the National Forest Foundation’s new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective November 4! Dieter has a proven track record of leading organizations through transformative growth and innovative change. In his most recent position, he served six years as Chief Operating Officer at the National Park Foundation (NPF) where he helped triple revenue and triple grantmaking and programmatic impact on national parks. Today, when wildfire seasons are lasting longer and getting more intense, and the climate crisis demands innovative and immediate solutions, Fenkart-Froeschl says the NFF’s mission has never been more urgent. “Our forests and our water are absolutely vital,” he said. “As the only conservation organization solely focused on National Forests and Grasslands, it is important for us to advance our leadership in many areas, including climate resiliency, forest stewardship, and clean watersheds. I look forward to collaborating with the Forest Service and our partners nationwide to grow our community of National Forest champions and to inspire the American public to visit and support National Forests and Grasslands.” We hope you will join us in welcoming Dieter to the National Forest Foundation! ➡️ Read our press release to learn more about NFF's new champion of National Forests and Grasslands: https://lnkd.in/gFzPrypZ
