A little bit about us

WoodsCamp

WoodsCamp is the technology platform provided by the American Forest Foundation, to help connect woodland owners across the United States with professional advice, funding programs, and services to help keep their forest healthy.

The WoodsCamp team is committed to AFF's mission of ensuring the sustainability of America's family forests. We are achieving this by developing online tools and world class support for landowners and partners as they act across millions of acres to ensure clean water, carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat, and sustainable wood for present and future generations.

WoodsCamp works by gathering datasets, information from local conservation partners, funding programs, offers, etc. By allowing landowners to select their property on the woodscamp.com map and identifying their goals for their forest, we are able to filter for eligible programs and services that are right for them. After providing a detailed report on their property, and the opportunities that are available, WoodsCamp connects interested landowners with the programs of interest.
