Founded in 1989, Forests Forever exists to defend and restore California's 17 million acres of diverse woodland ecosystems, from the foggy cathedral forests of the North Coast to the Juniper/Pinyon pine forests of the Southern California desert. A chief source of our drinking water, wildlife and our spiritual refreshment, California's magnificent forests help define the special character of the place where we live.
Forests Forever fulfills a unique function in the forestry-reform community by carrying out a program of broad-based citizen education and mobilization through direct-contact grassroots organizing.
The organization's mission is to protect and enhance the forests and wildlife habitat of California through educational, legislative, and electoral activities; to recruit, educate and train articulate and effective organizers in the skills needed to convey our position on the state's forests and wildlife habitat to the citizens of California.
