Forests and Trees

By providing clean water, clean air, wildlife habitat, energy savings, timber and other forest products, recreation and inspiration, our forests and trees take care of us.
Let’s return the favor!

Here are five things you can do to Thank Our Forests and Trees:

	Learn about forests and trees Explore our Forests and Trees web resources. Visit a library or nature center to learn more.
	Experience forests and trees Walk, hike, listen, observe, breathe deeply, photograph, sketch, collect, fish, whittle, hunt, swing, or just sit and contemplate. To experience forests and trees is to love them, and to love forests and trees is to protect them.
	Respect forests and trees Manage forests and trees wisely. Leave forests and trees healthy for tomorrow–for clean air and water, for wildlife, and for renewable products.
	Choose forests and trees Everyday choices matter for healthy forests and trees. Protect forests; reforest, recycle, and conserve. Buy wood, the natural choice, instead of plastic.
