NASF supports the suite of USDA Forest Service State & Private Forestry (S&PF) programs which help bolster America’s economy and environment. State Foresters provide a cost-effective boots-on-the-ground network to deliver federal programs and use Forest Action Plans to target resources where they are needed most.

The Wildfire Mitigation Awards commend the outstanding dedication to wildfire preparedness and safety across a broad spectrum of activities and among a variety of individuals and organizations.

Urban forests provide essential benefits we cannot live without. To help support these critical landscapes, NASF launched My Tree—Our Forest, a new urban and community forestry campaign.

The report provides an overview of Forest Action Plans and reviews specific plans in three states and one island territory to evaluate accomplishments related to protecting water quality in the five years since they were completed. 

We sell educational materials to support the conservation education and fire prevention efforts of educators, foresters, fire departments, and other partners. Our store includes products such as our best-selling Smokey Bear pocket planner, a nature journal, bookmarks, rulers, and temporary tattoos. Be sure to check out our Smokey Bear poster series, too!

The 2015 NASF Annual report highlights the theme Adapting to Change, which is as relevant in the natural world as it is in the worlds of agencies and associations.

The latest research finds that forestry best management practices (BMPs) are effective measures implemented to protect water quality. Read NASF's report on BMPs and click through the interactive map detailing practices in each state.
