American Forest Foundation received conditional approval to participate in Verra’s durability pilot to test alternative approaches to buffer pools.

The American Forest Foundation (AFF) is a national conservation organization that works to deliver clean water, wildlife habitat, carbon sequestration and storage, and sustainable wood supplies to those that value it, by empowering family forest owners to care for their land. AFF is the only conservation group working on a national level across a wide range of partners to empower family forest owners to cultivate conservation impact in their forests, and to ensure that impact is valued, paid for and supported. We develop strategies, solutions and partnerships to that help landowners overcome the challenges they face to creating well-managed forests. The American Forest Foundation oversees the American Tree Farm System, the Family Forest Carbon Program, My Sierra Woods and many other programs.
