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.

Forest Services Team, I want to thank you all for the great work that you do to protect our nature and eco balance. I would like to visit Ocala National Forest in FL with my grand kids to show them how wild life and animal protection is important for eco balance. As we celebrate earth day I pledged to plant trees and also to protect nature.

Trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and remove harmful pollutants from the air, acting as a natural air filter.

Thank you for all you do to maintain and improve our national forests! I'm hoping to visit Bridger-Teton National Forest in the coming years. Having such amazing areas protected and upkept means a lot to my family and I, allowing us to continue educating future generations. Thank you!!!
