Thank you for protecting homes and communities from wildfires. Your tireless efforts are appreciated!

As a big forest-lover, I appreciate all of your hard work to protect the forest as well as homes and communities from wildfires. Thank you!

As part of its responsible business plan, Citizen Verizon, Verizon partnered with the National Forest Foundation to thank individuals who have dedicated their professional careers to protecting America’s National Forests—the U.S. Forest Service personnel.

As the effects of climate change exacerbate wildfires and the impacts of COVID-19 spur an unprecedented increase in visitations, Forest Service staff continue to selflessly work and often put their lives in danger to ensure these public lands thrive now and for many generations to come.

In addition to sharing messages of support, encouragement, and thanks from Verizon’s employees, Verizon’s generous grant will plant 100,000 trees on National Forest lands. These native trees will help provide fresh air, clean water, and remove carbon from the environment.

We invite you to share these messages of thanks from Verizon employees with your fellow wildland firefighters or any associations, clubs, groups, or teams who you believe would appreciate seeing them.

National Forests cover 193 million acres of the United States – that’s the size of Texas!

I have a deep love for being outside. There's so much peace in just enjoying this beautiful land we are so blessed to have. My family and I try to contribute by recycling at home and anywhere we can, we also enjoy community cleanups where we can be sure to be apart of keeping our community as clean and natural as possible.
