🌲 Southern forests are some of the planet’s hardest workers. They sustain our economy and quality of life. They keep our air and water pure. They offer us space to delight in nature. Because we all depend on forests, everyone must ensure they prosper. #NYClimateWeek

Conserving forested watersheds is a vital step towards securing a sustainable future. Let's prioritize #KeepingForests to ensure pure water and economic vitality for years to come #SourceWaterProtectionWeek #ProtecttheSource 🎥Watch 'The Forest Filter': keepingforests.org/documentary

A hot and dry summer has led to an extreme risk of fire across the South. #KeepingForests is working to create solutions to enable forest landowners to actively manage their forests, which is the #1 suppressant of wildfire. Thanks to our agencies for helping protect our forests.

The power of collaboration is key to the success of our Keeping Forests partnership. We're honored to work alongside @ForestryCommish, driving projects and inspiring change across the U.S. South. Learn more about SCFC here: scfc.gov #ForestConservation

We advocate for the development of new and emerging markets, such as #MassTimber construction, #Biomass, #CarbonCredits and #ForestProducts sustainably sourced from southern tree species. #SouthernForests #KeepingForests #forestproud

Great article by @EnergyAbsurdity With 23 million acres of forest land at risk of development across the U.S. South, landowners need healthy markets to help keep forests as forests. Thank you @DraxGroupUS for aiding in our mission to bring emerging markets to the U.S. South.

Enjoying a field trip with @KeepingForests to the Saluda river #watershed, where members of @UpstateForever & @ForestryCommish are discussing watershed protection & some local wildlife came closer to listen.

“We have to work together to make sure there is a sustainable wood market. This will help our private landowners stay in business and keep forestland as forestland.” See @USDA Under Secretary Wilkes' interview from @SGSF_Forests Annual Conference here... @forestservice
