Delivering meaningful conservation impact through the empowerment of family forest landowners.
Über uns
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 it comes to maximizing the climate mitigation potential of our country's (and the world's) family forest owners, public-private partnership is key. Enter: the Forest Landowner Support Program (FLS), a historic opportunity for organizations to partner with states to equip underserved and small-acreage forest landowners with the tools to care for their lands and maximize their conservation impact. But how can public funding truly catalyze private investment? Read on here: https://lnkd.in/enWkbqjG

While the Science Based Targets initiative's findings this week did not provide the clear guidance we need, one thing remains clear: leveraging the voluntary carbon market must be part of the journey toward a carbon neutral future. It’s now on all of us – corporations and family forest owners alike – to take voluntary action with high integrity so the atmosphere, our forests, and the communities on the front lines can begin to feel the difference.
