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 am very grateful to all of the Forest Service personnel for their hard work and dedication to maintaining and preserving our national forests and grasslands. Areas that are essential in providing clean water, reducing air pollution and providing a haven of biodiversity. I'm sure all of the birds and animals thank you as well!!

Thank you for for preserving the National Forest in New York. Although I do not live close to the Finger Lakes National Forest, I would love to visit. I am told it is beautiful and I would love to take it all in. I appreciate all that you do. I know that it is not always easy, but it is always appreciated so thank you so much! You Rock!!
