Forest Action Plans
Forest Action Plans are making a difference in every state.
Welcome to State Foresters
FY2013 Appropriations
State and Private Forestry programs leverage the capacity of state agencies to provide assistance to landowners and communities to manage, maintain, and improve the nation's 423 million acres of private forests and 100 million acres of urban forests. NASF offers a number of recommendations for funding these vital programs
Forests in the Farm Bill
The 2012 Farm Bill has an important role to play in ensuring that America’s private forests continue to provide nature's benefits that every American benefits from, as well as meeting the challenges and threats facing the nation’s private forests.
NASF Foundation
Established in 1983, projects supported by the Foundation further the recognition of state forestry agency leadership in promoting healthy, well-managed forests.
Urban Trees and Forests
The urban forest is the tree canopy cover above every neighborhood, town, and city in America. We have a strong incentive to nurture our urban and community forests to safeguard their contributions to health, safety, energy security and quality of life
Green Building
From both environmental and economic perspectives, State Foresters believe it is important that wood products, and particularly products derived from U.S. forests, play a substantial role in the U.S. green building movement. NASF promotes the value of wood from certified, sustainably managed U.S. forests as a green building material.
