Promoting Renewable Forest Resources

The Virginia Tree Farm Foundation is a state partner of the American Tree Farm System (ATFS). We work on the ground to implement the ATFS mission to promote the growing of renewable forest resources on private lands while protecting environmental benefits and increasing public understanding of all benefits of productive forestry.

The Foundation is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors and is financially reliant on donations from forest landowners, forest industry, and others who support its goals.
