American Forests works to protect, restore and enhance the natural capital of trees and forests. Healthy forests filter water, remove air pollution, sequester carbon, and provide homes for wildlife. Help plant trees to restore areas damaged by wildfire, where critical wildlife habitat has been lost, and to clean our air and water.

A wildfire burns dangerously close to San Diego, California's I-15. You can help! Plant trees through our California Wildfire ReLeaf program and spread the word by sending a post card.
