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.

The longleaf pine ecosystem is one of the most biologically diverse in North America, with an understory that can hold up to 40 plant species per square yard.

Stand tall like a tree and blossom like the most beautiful flower that you have ever seen because that is who you are. A beacon of hope growing a healthy environment one flower and tree at a time.

A big thank you for preserving the forests and all that live in its ecosystem. With the recent natural disasters: hurricanes and wildfires, you helping to take care of what is currently growing helps the environment and everybody in so many ways. The trees and plants act as a filter for clean air, it helps to create a home for the wildlife.

It has been very rainy in NJ but I took the time to spend some time walking outside to look at the beautiful trees and how the leaves are starting to change. I appreciate the age of the trees in our neighborhood and what I am planning on adding a new tree by my house so one day it can be as big as the beautiful trees around us. Thank you so much!

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.
