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.

Maintaining 193 millions acres of Forest and Grassland across the US is an impressive mass of real estate to protect, re-invest, care and maintain. Gratitude and appreciation to all US Forest Services and National Forest Foundation.

Thank you for tirelessly maintaining the unruly bunch of trees that have no sense of self preservation. I found it interesting all of the various techniques used to minimize forest fires that are beyond my imagination. Cheers!

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

I am very glad we had the session with the NFF. It made me realize the magnitude of the National Forests footprint. It goes very well beyond vacation spots - it's key for wildlife preservation, water resources, etc.. So I'd like to extend my personal gratitude for everything you do and sacrifice to preserve this national treasure. Thank you!!
