We’re excited to announce our new 1% for the Planet partnership with the National Forest Foundation and our goal of planting 150,000 trees!

Our national forests and grasslands are at the core of America’s natural riches. In addition to the $13.5 billion pumped into our economy annually by visitors, these lands provide water to millions of Americans, clean our air, store carbon, and provide timber, minerals, oil and gas and other resources for industry and communities. Yet, today our national forests and grasslands are threatened by unprecedented challenges.

We are proud to partner with the National Forest Foundation, whose mission is to bring people together to restore and enhance our national forests and grasslandsWe initially entered into this partnership with the National Forest Foundation earlier this year to help with reforestation efforts in our national forests and decided to plant 10,000 trees in 2020. Now, with the increase of unprecedented, devastating fires we have seen in the last few years, we decided to step up our game and commit to a goal of planting over 150,000 trees over the next 10 years. The National Forest Foundation is a great fit for us, as they not only do the hard work of planting trees to restore ecosystems, but they also tackle environmental challenges through education, conservation and by creating a new generation of environmental stewards for our national treasures.

The National Forest Foundation is currently running a campaign to plant 50 million trees on our national forests and we are thankful to have all of your support as we do what we can to contribute to that goal!
