Dear John: Community-owned forests provide unparalleled access to the outdoors. It doesn't stop there, though. This month we walk you through all the ways these forests benefit their communities.

Forests are shrinking and disappearing across the United States. Over the past two decades, we’ve pioneered a movement to save our forestlands. Here's a look at our community forest model, and why it holds promise to protect this vital resource.

Despite the importance and popularity of our nation's forests, they are facing unprecedented threats: extreme drought, growing rates of pests, and severe megafires. We cannot stand by and watch as our forests are destroyed acre by acre. Take action now and demand Congress protect our national forests today!

Updates from across the country

Community Forests are a go-to for locals or visitors who want to play in the snow—whether by ski, snowshoe, or just nestled in your favorite boots. Huntington Community Forest has great trails—and a new fire pit and kiosk—thanks to a generous grant from L.L.Bean.

The public will have free permanent access to Kootenai Forestlands near the city of Libby in northwest Montana. This landscape is a migratory corridor for elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, and moose and will ensure protection for threatened species such as bull trout, grizzly bear, and Canada lynx. Collectively, our conservation projects in Montana and Idaho have protected a quarter-million acres for present and future generations to enjoy.

Each month, we feature a quote from one of The Trust for Public Land's staff members, volunteers, or supporters about the power of the outdoors. Share why you're thankful for the outdoors for a chance to be featured in a future newsletter.

We have long been dedicated to protecting the forested headwaters of our nation’s largest river, the Mississippi. By protecting over 13,500 acres and 64 miles of shoreline in the headwater region, we are creating habitat-rich, publicly accessible places for the community to get outside and have some fun.
