COMMUNAUTÉS

Communities rely on forests for jobs and economic development, recreational benefits and human health. These links between people and forests have always been important, but are even more relevant in an increasingly connected and changing world. Our work is focused on nurturing a positive relationship between people who live near and work in forests, and the goals of a sustainable marketplace and healthy forests.

SFI’s network drives our success. Our network helps link our pillars, promote learning, and increase our scale. The SFI network leads forest-focused collaborations that make a quantifiable impact through efforts like our community grants program.
