Our tree planting and forest management projects replace trees used by manufacturers and consumers. Target sites include public land damaged by wildfire, ice or windstorm, sites decimated by insect or disease, or open idle land that was former forest.
The Hardwood Forestry Fund gratefully acknowledges the crucial sustainable forest management and care provided by foresters and other natural resource professionals who oversee our many projects. Thank you for your initiative and long term dedication to hardwood forests!
