Pacific Forest Trust

Know The Facts.
Four out of every five forests in the Lower 48 states are privately owned. These forests deliver many essential benefits including water, wildlife, wilderness, working landscapes and a well-balanced climate. Tragically, more than 1.5 million acres of these forestlands are converted to shopping malls, subdivisions and other forms of development each year.
Know Our Story.
Since 1993, the Pacific Forest Trust has been dedicated to sustaining America's private working forests and safeguarding their many public benefits.
Yet, the future and fate of these forests is really everyone's concern. So, we ask you to join us and share your support. Together, we can ensure working forests will continue to work wonders for us all.

Pacific Forest Trust Earns National Recognition from Land Trust Accreditation Commission
The Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance, announced this week that the Pacific Forest Trust has been awarded accredited status. PFT was one of 12 land trusts from across the country to be awarded accreditation this August. These organizations join 93 other land trusts – out of more than 1,700 such conservation groups in the United States – awarded accreditation since the first designations were awarded in fall of 2008. “Becoming accredited was a major goal for Pacific Forest Trust this year, and we are very proud of this recognition,” said Charlie Swindells, Chairman of the Board for the Pacific Forest Trust.
