Saving trees means creating jobs. 10 million of them.


The UN estimates that investment in sustainable forestry projects could create 10 million jobs worldwide. Forestry isn't just about saving trees, it's about harvesting forests sustainably, making them healthier, creating lumber, and, uh, SAVING THE PLANET.


A piece of trivia: Asheville is the birthplace of American forestry. To be more specific, the Biltmore Estate in Asheville is the birthplace of American forestry.
