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 want to hear from you. Please take one minute to answer a few questions in our brief survey.

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.

I dont know if anyone has told you thank you in awhile and an email from a strange may not make much difference but Thank you none the less. Because of the work you do it allows all of us to enjoy the abundance of nature we are fortunate enough to visit and access in the states. Thank you again

I would like to thank the Forret service for keeping our forests safe from wildfires and illegal logging. I know we city folks are sometimes too busy in our daily lives to stop and smell the forest, but no the less thank you for the work you do.

My personal favorite Park is the Great Smokey Mountain National Parks and while its the most visited through conservation it continues to be a place that can be enjoyed by everyone. Thank you so much for all you do.

By planting the right species in the right places, reforestation improves forest health and helps make our forests more resilient to future challenges like climate change and wildfire.

As an employee of Verizon the NFF has been brought to my attention, I am elated to see all of the work you all are doing to improve our national forests. I want to let you know that all of your hard work does not go unnoticed and without you I am not sure of the state of our national forests. Thank You for all that you do!

Thank you for the work you do. Its a thankless job that doesn't get as much praise but the sheer amount of wildlife and nature you are able to preserve with conservation gives some of us the only green spaces available.

We greatly appreciate the work you do to ensure that our forests are beautiful and taken care of. Being able to take my children out to enjoy nature and disconnect from electronics and social media and be able to reconnect with nature and each other is a wonderful blessing. Its gives us opportunities to learn and grow in real life.

National Forests are the largest single source of fresh water in the US, providing drinking water to millions, including those in large cities.

Keep up the great work! We need our National Forest workers and we appreciate you and everything you do!
