About Us:

Forests are essential to life on earth. They generate oxygen, store carbon, and play host to a variety of plant and animal species as well as indigenous communities. Studies have shown that there is a enormous reserve of carbon in the nations forests. The forest is home to many different species and habitats. Forests are a vital part of many ecosystems. Ensuring a healthy ecosystem that includes forests also means sustainable preservation of other species that dwell in the forests. Conservation of ecosystems and species within them would help maintain the natural balance. Protecting our nations forests will ensure that these species and habitats will live on for generations to come. As you search the internet for saving the forests you will find many, however most of the forests that are wanting to be saved are overseas; what about America's forests. As you drive through Americas small towns, large towns, country towns, there is building going on everywhere. Large Earth movers clearing the land, tearing down trees and habitats, forcing the animals to search for some type of habitat for them to try and make a new home, talk about overcrowding. No wonder there are deer jumping through windows of restaurants right in the middle of the city, and every few miles there is dead deer on the side of the highway; crazy huh? These large earth moving machines are making way for a new Wal-Mart, Kroger or a new Housing development; meanwhile the buildings they moved out of sit empty. Why can't they tear down the building they move out of and restore the land back to its natural state. Eighty percent of our Nations forests have been cleared, fragmented, or otherwise degraded. Over the past 150 years, deforestation has contributed an estimated thirty percent of the atmospheric build-up of CO2. Since 1970, wood and water consumption has almost doubled; carbon dioxide emissions have increased two and a half times; freshwater systems have declined by fifty percent; and the worlds forest cover has decreased by thirteen percent. This has been the most destructive period in the history of the natural world.
