We Promote Sustainable Forestry
The Maryland Forestry Foundation is dedicated to fostering the sustainable use of our forest resources while educating the public on the benefits of forests and advocating for the protection and expansion of forest cover across the state.
Students & Educators
Our goal is to maintain a steady pipeline into Natural Resources fields in Maryland through college Fellowships and hands-on career camps for high school students.
Landowners
We encourage, identify and implement tree planting opportunities on private property, working with landowners to maximize their property's benefits to the environment such as nutrient reduction and air and water quality.
The Foundation helps to strengthen the effectiveness and outreach potential of our 24 local Forestry Boards through targeted training programs and by acting as a fiduciary agent and fundraising manager for specific Forestry Board programs.
Advocacy
Through legislative advocacy, we encourage responsible forest management practices, promote ecological services, and mitigate carbon emissions

This creates challenges at every level of government for citizens, stakeholders, and leadership. Join us to better understand the issues and the options.
