The National Association of State Foresters is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2020 (and now 2021 too!) with a Centennial Challenge campaign, honoring both the work of the association in providing a unified voice for state and private forestry in the U.S., as well as the tremendous social, environmental, and economic contributions of state forestry agencies nationwide. NASF will be spotlighting state forestry agencies and their work to complete 100-themed challenges regularly throughout the campaign.
“Our goal is healthy resilient forests that are better able to withstand threats from insects, disease and wildfire.”
