American Forests

Want to know if #reforestation can protect #biodiversity? Turn up your volume and come for a walk with me in the Hakalau National Wildlife Refuge in Hawai’i where American Forests & U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) have been replanting koa forests to save some of the most endangered songbirds on 🌎 with help from Salesforce & Nestlé Nespresso SA. You will hear birds like the I’i’vi sing their thanks and even get a surprise fly by. You in? Let’s #ReforestAmerica.

“Trees are not a luxury, but a necessity for a healthy, vibrant community.” In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re highlighting the people and organizations making real change in communities across the US. Today, we’re spotlighting Jerome Foster II, American Forests’ Tree Equity Ambassador. Growing up in Washington, D.C., Jerome witnessed the absence of something as essential as trees. Today, he’s leading the charge to ensure every neighborhood has access to the life-changing benefits of trees: cleaner air, cooler streets, and healthier lives.

American Forests congratulates Brooke Rollins on her confirmation as the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. As a leader in conservation and rural development, the USDA plays a critical role in ensuring the health of our nation’s forests, from large working landscapes to the trees in our cities. We look forward to working with Secretary Rollins and the Trump administration to advance forest conservation. Bipartisan partnerships have long been the foundation of progress in forestry, and we are eager to continue this important work together.
