Since 1989
The Temperate Forest Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit, public charity. The Foundation provides leadership by articulating the current realities, and a positive inspiring vision of the future. Through public education the Foundation helps people move toward the positive vision of living sustainably, with the successful integration of economic, ecological, and social needs. We must take from life to live, but we must also put something back. Forest, trees and wood will continue to play a vital role in supporting human populations and quality of life on this planet. The responsible consumption and production of natural resources go hand-in-hand; this is the Circle of Life.
