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.

People often assume that big cities lack greenery, but that's not entirely true! I've always felt a strong connection to the natural world; it's where I feel most at peace and free from judgment. I love exploring Central Park, especially the tree-lined paths and the tranquil oasis. Thank you for your dedication to keeping our environment healthy.

Dear Forest Service Member, Please accept my thanks for helping save our planet earth. I love seeing the tall green tress when I visit parks or those on the sides of the highways when we drive. In Fall, the leaves change colors and look so beautiful! Thanks to you I get to see these beautiful trees and their leaves! Shweta

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.
