ISSUE: WHY IS TREE FARMING IMPORTANT FOR AMERICA AND AMERICA'S FORESTS?

Help Support Responsible Forestry

You can support responsible forestry and the millions of tree farmers in the U.S. by your continued use of paper and other wood-based products and by promoting the use of certified products. When consumers understand that certified paper and wood products are helping private landowners keep their forests working for multiple uses, they are more likely to purchase, even at a premium, those certified products.

You can help by educating your employees, your customers and your end users on the facts about U.S. forest ownership, the challenges of private landowners and the value of paper products made from wood that is certified by any of the credible third-party certification standards.
