Our Mission
Appalachian Forest Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health, productivity, and sustainability of Appalachian forests while helping meet critical community needs.
We believe healthy forests benefit everyone. Through responsible forest stewardship, education, volunteer engagement, and community partnerships, we work to restore and improve woodlands while creating positive impacts for people and wildlife alike.
Our organization is guided by a simple principle:
Healthy forests strengthen communities.
