NAFO Environmental Benefits Report | National Alliance of Forest Owners

It’s more than a report – it’s a snapshot of how 43 million acres of private working forests across the U.S. are delivering extensive environmental benefits.

Private working forests are not only meeting the demand for sustainable wood and fiber – they’re also delivering measurable environmental benefits. NAFO’s 2025 Environmental Benefits Report tells that story.

The report provides a data-driven look at the environmental contributions of NAFO member forests across four categories: sustainable forest management, carbon, water, and wildlife.

Backed by data from NAFO members, the U.S. Forest Service, and NCASI, Inc., this is a go-to resource for understanding the nationwide benefits of sustainable forest management.
