NEW ENGLAND FORESTRY FOUNDATION • December 11, 2024
The U.S. Forest Service has awarded $4.3 million to the New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) and its partners to help Maine forest landowners protect Maine’s oldest forests and implement practices on nearby lands that will help store carbon, and protect ecosystem health and biodiversity. NEFF will partner with landowners to defer timber harvesting in forests that are at least 150 years old, known as late successional old growth stands.
