 All About Trees

Protecting America's Forests

Reforestation is one key to keeping nature in balance. Under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)®program, companies plant or grow more trees than are harvested each year. In fact, over 1 million acres are reforested each year under the SFI® program.

Thanks to hard work by the men and women working in our forests, we now have more forests today than we did on the very first Earth Day in 1970.

Each year, the forest community plants 1.5 billion tree seedlings in the United States — that’s more than 5 new trees for each American, and nearly 2,000 for every bear.
