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.

I just wanted to drop a note to let you know how much you are appreciated, being a city kid from NY I enjoy nothing more then going out into the wilderness and just exploring nature. Nothing is more relaxing then watching animals in the woods and just enjoying nature and you guys are a great reason why we are still able to do that. So thanks

Thank you so much for taking care of our National Forest. With out you we would not be able to preserve their wonder and beauty for us to enjoy. My family and I enjoy visiting different National Forest to go hiking, camp and just take in the beauty of the land.

Trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and remove harmful pollutants from the air, acting as a natural air filter.
