The National Forest Foundation (NFF) works with communities and organizations to conserve and enhance the watersheds, wildlife habitat and wild places across the United States' 193-million-acre National Forest System. Their goal is to preserve nature, especially the forests, through education that will make citizen emotionally connected to the forests. They also promote responsible recreation in the forests.

The mission of the National Forest Foundation (NFF), chartered by Congress, engages Americans in community-based and national programs that promote the health and public enjoyment of the 193-million-acre National Forest System, and administers private gifts of funds and land for the benefit of the National Forests.

What the National Forest Foundation says:

"America’s National Forests and Grasslands represent the centerpiece of our country’s public lands. We face an urgent need for action.

The goals for our three-year [2022-2024] strategy are ambitious. We will build on our existing work to restore forest health and improve outdoor experiences, and we add an overarching goal around engaging millions more Americans to join us. We will pursue these goals with an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, resulting in the benefit of a broad diversity of communities and particularly those that have historically been underrepresented in public lands."
