They Manage the Forest. You Can Help Keep It Growing.

56% of forests in the United States are privately owned — and cared for by families, individuals, and small businesses who keep forests as forests.

These working lands provide clean water, wildlife habitat, renewable wood products, and climate benefits — while supporting jobs and rural communities across the country.

But forest stewardship is no small task. Landowners face rising costs, extreme weather, succession challenges, and a need for reliable information in an ever-changing landscape.

That’s where the Forest Landowners Foundation comes in.

We are the only national foundation solely dedicated to supporting private forest landowners. Our mission is to invest in the people behind the trees — providing them with the tools, training, and knowledge to keep their forests healthy, productive, and in family hands for generations to come.

When you give to the Foundation, you help us:

Deliver practical education and resources directly to landowners
Grow the next generation of forest professionals and land stewards
Share the story of working forests and the people who sustain them

Your donation is tax-deductible — and deeply impactful.

Support the future of America’s forests by investing in the landowners who make it possible.
