Family Forests
Private families own the largest share of forestland in the United States, 54 percent.
These forest landowners share a unique commitment to protect wildlife habitat and watersheds, to conserve soil, to provide recreational opportunities for their communities, while producing the wood that America needs.
These families hold the key to the kinds of forests, forest activities, and forest resources that future generations will enjoy.
"Thank you for your recognition of our Tree Farm as outstanding Tree Farmer of the Year in Virginia [2008]. We feel honored to have been chosen to receive this award, and will try to continue to manage our woodlands in a manner consistent with the high standards of the American Tree Farm System."
