Sustainable Forestry

Since 1944, the New England Forestry Foundation has been dedicated to promoting the sound and sustainable management of our region’s private forestlands.  Today, we hold 137 forests totaling more than 24,000 acres, which demonstrate sustainable forestry for wood, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and education. Our woodlands are certified by the American Tree Farm System® and also certified to Forest Stewardship Council™ standards.  By passing these environmental audits, NEFF meets the principles and criteria that describe how the forest is  managed to meet the social, economic, ecological, and cultural needs of present and future generations.

We invite you to learn more about our dedication to sound forest stewardship, and to learn more about visiting a community forest near you.
