Shaping the future of forestry
Our focus is on a future driven by innovative, market-based solutions that strengthen the forest industry and support forest-reliant communities for generations to come.

Forests
Support working forests and sustainable forest management practices for the health and retention of U.S. forests
Communities
Work with trusted partners within rural forest-reliant communities to build economic prosperity and resilience
Markets
Support forest industry processes and products, both traditional (e.g., paper mills, sawmills) and emerging (e.g., biochar, carbon)
We work to reinforce forest markets that maintain the balance essential to long-term forest health and industrial prosperity.
