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.

Today, longleaf pine habitat exists on less than 5 percent of its historic range in the U.S. South. Planting longleaf pine on National Forests supports the expansion of this critical native species.

I would like to thank everybody in the USFS. From the people out in the forests to the people "behind the scenes" making sure things get done. Our national forests are a resource that needs protecting. Not just for the environmental impacts and the life safety impacts, but also for the pure joy they provide for people.

Thank you for your dedication to make the world a better place for future generations.

We thank you for keeping our National Forest beautiful, protected and safe. God Bless America.

National Forests provide habitat for more than 3,000 animals, including more than 400 federally listed threatened and endangered species.

National Forest Foundation, Thank you for all that you do. Growing up, I spent the majority of my time outdoors. Fishing, camping, and hiking were a large part of my childhood and what you do helps make sure others have areas of nature available to do the same!

thanks
