Whether addressing wildfire threats, providing access and opportunity for underserved landowners, building community through the American tree farm system, or promoting biodiversity and conservation, aff's woodlands work all centers on delivering meaningful environmental and economic impact via america's family-owned forestlands which comprise 39% of all us forests.

Through expanding access and reducing barriers to the voluntary carbon market for family Forest owners, aff is working with thousands of landowners to care for their land, improve Forest health, and increase timber growth. Within the family Forest carbon program, landowners can adopt long-term sustainable management that improves carbon sequestration and storage while balancing other essential Forest benefits.
