Through the application of our core expertise in conserving forestland and advancing Exemplary Forestry, New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) helps the people of New England to sustain their way of life, protect forest wildlife habitat and ecosystem services, and mitigate and adapt to climate change. In partnership with land owners, NEFF has conserved more than 1.2 million acres of forest, including one out of every three acres of forestland protected in New England since 1999. Together, we: LEAD BY EXAMPLE. NEFF owns 150+ Community Forests, practicing sustainable forestry while providing opportunities for public recreation. We demonstrate the value of forestry techniques and tools that foresters, landowners, and land trusts may choose to adopt. INNOVATE FOR IMPACT. NEFF finds new solutions to increase the pace of forest conservation and to encourage sustainable forestry. We develop new tools for communicating effectively with private landowners, more efficient approaches to conserve large forested areas, and meaningful partnerships and programs to achieve region-wide impact. FOCUS ON THE FUTURE. Since its inception, NEFF has worked towards a sustainable way of life, ensuring that forests continue to support the region’s communities. Today, climate change is making forestry even more essential to keep forests healthy, slow carbon emissions, and help reduce the impacts of global warming. SERVE A MOVEMENT. Through education, advocacy, and fundraising, NEFF continues to forge new connections to help keep New England forested.
