American Forest Foundation
The American Forest Foundation supports conservation programs across multiple NFWF landscapes in the eastern half of the country to improve habitat for forest-dependent, at-risk wildlife, while increasing the amount of family forests under sustainable, active management.
The American Forest Foundation (AFF) and NFWF began working together in 2016 to improve habitat for forest-dependent, at-risk wildlife, while increasing the amount of family forests under sustainable, active management. In southern forests, this partnership has created regional teams that equip landowners with forest and wildlife management knowledge, and connects them with other federal and state financial assistance resources. This conservation partnership supports NFWF’s efforts to benefit at-risk wildlife outlined in the longleaf, Cumberland and Lower Mississippi business plans.
In the Northeast, the partnership supports placed-based and collaborative landscape-scale projects to engage landowners in forest management actions that benefit fish and wildlife. This conservation partnership supports NFWF’s efforts to enhance age-class diversity and structural complexity of northeastern forests for the species reliant on them, such as wood thrush, New England cottontail, river herring and eastern brook trout.
