Protect communities, water and wildlife with a gift for trees.

Email, it’s getting hot. Really hot.

Summer is becoming increasingly dangerous. You can feel it at the neighborhood barbeque and on the scenic hikes that embody this time of year. Wildfires, drought and extreme heat are overwhelming our forests, while climate change threatens our cities, biodiversity and habitats. And it’s not enough to respond after an extreme weather event happens.

American Forests knows this, which is why we have spent more than 150 years restoring and expanding resilient forests that keep both communities and wildlife safe and cool. We are rooted by the strength of our partnerships, by our innovative approach and by building from the ground up. And we are ready to meet this critical moment.

I know you are too, Email, which is why I’m asking you to join us with a gift.

When you make a gift today, you become a part of a historic conservation movement. Your dedication to this mission is needed now more than ever for what comes next: Growing forests that last, building wildfire resilience and investing in trees for healthy cities.

American Forests has already achieved broad-reaching impact for people, climate, water and wildlife, with 4.1 million trees planted and 460+ cities committed to Tree Equity. But as the planet keeps heating up, there’s so much more to be done.

At American Forests, we know there is no one way to protect trees. It’s what makes our work special. And it means that everyone, from the scientist analyzing tree DNA to the nursery owner to the backyard birder, has a place in our movement to restore forests.

Like a root system communicating and sharing resources with one another, movements grow stronger when connections run deep. You are a critical node in that web of connection, Email. I hope you’ll play your part in the movement today by making a generous donation.

P.S. As summer heats up, there is something you can do to cool our streets, protect biodiversity and invest in the future health of our planet: Make a gift to support resilient forests today.
