Thank you
U.S. Forest Service

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.

The Inyo National Forest is a breathtaking and overall a beautiful sight we can take advantage of, unlike our daily life routines w can sometimes forget what beauty nature brings and what peace and serenity we can feel enjoying these beautiful views.

We depend on trees for so many things. It gives us food to nurish our bodies, shelter from the elements and oxygen to breathe. We truly appreciate you and words cannot convey how important it is what you do. Thanks!!!
