5 Easy Ways to Make a Difference in Your National Forests

Local communities’ health, economic stability, and chances to relax and renew are inextricably tied to National Forests and the citizens who oversee these lands

 

The Forest Voices Workshop: 5 easy ways to make a difference in your National Forests highlights the connection between healthy people and healthy forests – such as clean air and water, capital for the billion dollar tourism and recreation industries, and places of solitude for both mental and spiritual health. The toolkit provides fast and easy tools for making these public values a personal responsibility.

 

“The people are the real guardians of the region's forests, yet most people don’t know that much about how to get involved in forest protection."  The toolkit intends to make it easier to place the stewardship of our public lands back in the public’s hands.
