Forest Keeper protects over 20 million acres of U.S. public lands and supports forest guardians around the world. We safeguard forests for our future.
We are a coalition of scientists, attorneys, experts, and grassroots organizations protecting national forests and other public lands. Our public, legal, and political campaigns defend forests, protect watersheds, and sustain the long-term economic health of communities. Our network of Forest Keepers spans 18 states in the East, protecting 29 national forests that provide drinking water for 40 percent of Americans.
About Us
Our grassroots network of Forest Keepers, our experienced staff, and our legal and political team protect national forests across the country. We are the only major conservation organization focused on national forests. We work directly with communities and forest land managers in the field—and with legislators and leaders on Capitol Hill—to secure the strongest possible protections for our forests. We also work to protect other public lands vital to our future.
