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.

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.

Thank you for keeping our national forests full of happy trees and plants!! I'll be thinking of you and all the happy bugs, animals, and foliage over the next month as I plant the 2 trees that the Arbor Day foundation sent to me for free.

I want to thank everyone who works, in even a small way, to save our forests on our planet. It's a shame some don't believe the importance of this act; when we all know that breathing is a requirement for all. Forest provide a large % of the oxygen we breath. It's as simple as that.

Your daily work confronting the threats posed by wildfires, drought, and habitat loss is inspiring. Your commitment to preserving our natural resources and protecting our communities doesn't go unnoticed.
