VOLUNTEER to become an ATFS Certified Tree Farm Inspector.

Become a Supporter

For 66 years, ATFS has dedicated itself to working in partnership with private forest landowners to reach their goals of sustainable forestry, clean water and air, diverse wildlife habitats and community recreation activities.

Many national and international conservation organizations have recognized our efforts on privately owned forestland.  We want to continue to do the good environmental and conservation work we've begun, but we cannot do it all by ourselves. We depend on foundation, corporate, government and local grants, corporate contributions and donations from individuals concerned about their environment for future generations.

Your tax deductible donation will further our work of teaching more landowners about sustainable forestry, reaching students and teachers to enhance their environmental education opportunities, improving the Atlantic Salmon habitat in Maine, addressing critical forest management issues to curtail forest fires, establishing riparian buffer and improving wildlife habitat.
