From towering old-growth redwood forests on the West Coast to sprawling maple groves in the Northeast, America’s forests are as unique as the nation itself. With forest fire recovery in the west, longleaf pine restoration in the southeast, and National Forest restoration from coast to coast, reforestation in the U.S.A. works across several states and ecosystem types.
Severe threats to United States forests continue to escalate in size, frequency, and intensity. Uncharacteristic wildfires, insect infestations, diseases, drought, flooding, invasive species, and climate change endanger native forests and create a need for restoration. Tree planting in the right place, at the right time, with the right species, can change the current trajectory of forests in the United States.
About 7.5% of the world’s forests are in the United States.
U.S. National Forests are home to more than 3,000 species of fish and wildlife.
2.5 million acres of lakes are found in U.S. National Forests and grasslands.
Some western cities depend on National Forests for over 90% of their drinking water.
80% of tree cover loss between 2013-2023 in the U.S. occurred in natural forests.
