Please consider making a gift of any amount that is meaningful to you.
$40 – Covers the cost of an Old-Growth Forest Network trailhead sign, welcoming visitors to a newly recognized forest.
$150 – Trains one volunteer to identify old-growth forest characteristics in their local community.
$500 – Supports the collection of GIS data for 10 old-growth forests and helps transition our national old-growth forest map to a GIS platform.

Our work is made possible by donations from concerned forest advocates like yourself.
“I’ve watched the Old-Growth Forest Network awaken people to the beauty and urgency of protecting these ancient places. It’s a movement I’m proud to help grow—one forest at a time.”
