Like many of our supporters, we’re here to help grow something beautiful -
awareness of the wondrous sustainability and opportunity our hardwood and
softwood forest industry provides to consumers, North American forest foundation
the environment, the economy, and beyond. Wood has helped grow civilizations
throughout history, and at NAFF, we know that wood is also our future.
That’s why Our Mission is to support the forest products industry through education, promotion, advocacy of science-based facts about sustainable forestry, and by revealing the truth about trees - our world’s most diverse, abundant, renewable natural resource.
NAFF has always been a proud sponsor of educational programs. We created our signature Truth About Trees teaching kit and our Forest Forever children’s museum exhibit to teach elementary-aged children science-based facts about the wood industry. We’re developing tools to help teens and young adults learn about all the different wood-based career paths. We’ve built this website, which is filled with facts about trees and the benefits they provide, so everyone can learn about the benefits our forests provide.
We want to yell it from the treetops… wood products should be your first choice! Our renewable forests provide us with sustainable materials that help us make almost anything you could dream a reality with wood. We want to make sure everyone knows that by choosing wood, they’re choosing quality and purchasing responsibly.
The facts are in our favor. As we look towards the future, wood is the smart choice for the planet. We’re dedicated to sharing the science-based facts that prove wood is the best renewable resource to help combat carbon emissions. While the future of the forest industry is bright, we’ll gain plenty of shade by working together to make sure everyone understands the benefits of trees and the stories behind the products they provide us with.
The truth About Trees teaching kit was designed to provide lesson plans and tools that make learning science-based facts about trees fun for kids in elementary school. It can be used alone, or in conjunction with a field trip to our traveling museum exhibit, Forever Forest.
This traveling museum exhibit is all about trees, from the forest to your home. It’s designed to help kids learn about where wood comes from, how it’s processed, and transported and all the ways it can be used.
Forever Forest features interactive play spaces where children and their parents learn about the many careers and products made from wood. Children learn some of the different professional roles available in the industry as they maneuver a kid-size grapple skidder, load items onto a Union Pacific train, work with tools to create projects using building materials, and even distribute play medicine at the general store.
The exhibit explores the realities of forests through play, families learn about sustainability, selective harvesting, transportation needs, and the everyday products we use that are made from trees.
Provides connections and critical thinking skills development through hands-on lessons about how the industry gets lumber products from the forest to home.
Develops fine motor skills through the introduction of the tools and materials used to build homes and communities. Develops competency skills and creative role by placing guests in the role of train conductor, lumber manufacturer, retailer, and more. Exposure to a deeper understanding of responsible harvesting and renewable resource sustainable practices. Tactile enrichment opportunities through the exploration of everyday products that come from tress.
