American Tree Farm System

The American Tree Farm System is a program that promotes sustainable forestry by encouraging private landowners to manage their forests responsibly. Through certification, landowners follow environmentally sound practices that conserve wildlife habitat, promote healthy tree growth, and ensure long-term forest health. The system provides education, resources, and recognition for those committed to maintaining thriving forests. It aims to balance economic, ecological, and social benefits, ensuring forests can provide resources today and for future generations while protecting natural ecosystems.
