Resources for Tree Farmers

Forest Policy Priorities

Like America’s family farms and ranches, America’s family forestlands are part of the nation’s rural tapestry. And like family farms, economic struggles are affecting family forest landowners’ ability to protect the nation’s water, air, soils, and wildlife habitat and to provide wood products and renewable energy feedstocks that benefit all Americans.

The American Forest Foundation, the governing body of ATFS, works with Congress to ensure there are policies and programs in place to help family and private landowners sustainably manage their land.
