FOCUS
The Hardwood Forestry Fund is a 501(c)(3) educational organization dedicated to establishing sustainable hardwood forests. Since 1990, Hardwood Forestry Fund members have joined together to celebrate and conserve the beauty and sustainability of hardwoods. Through tree planting on public land, the Hardwood Forestry Fund promotes hardwood timber growth, management, environmental education, and wise use of our nation's renewable forest resources. Trees planted by the Hardwood Forestry Fund require a management plan that ensures they will be cared for to provide quality natural resources for future generations. Educational and demonstration forests help teach school children and private landowners how to establish and be good stewards of hardwood forests.

With the help if its members, the Hardwood Forestry Fund provides grants to public natural resource partners (like state foresters) to plant and manage hardwood forests. The Hardwood Forestry Fund plants quality hardwood species on productive sites. Planting a mixture of hardwood species mimics nature and creates a diverse forest that supports a variety of plant and animal life. With project partners, the Hardwood Forestry Fund plants on selective sites like open farmland and areas destroyed by wildfire.

Trees are the Earth's renewable resource. If you appreciate the natural beauty, warmth,
and durability of wood, you can help establish forests for future generation's natural
resource needs. Join the Hardwood Forestry Fund. Contributions to the Hardwood Forestry Fund are tax-deductible.
