Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

THE FOUNDATION'S EDUCATION AND OUTREACH WORK FOSTERS THE PUBLIC POLICIES AND PRIVATE ACTIONS NEEDED TO CONSERVE AND SUSTAINABLY MANAGE NEW ENGLAND'S FORESTS. IN THE COURSE OF OUR EDUCATION WORK, NEFF CONDUCTS PUBLIC EVENTS INCLUDING WALKS, TRAINING SESSIONS, WORKSHOPS, AND TALKS; DEVELOPS AND DISTRIBUTES PRINT AND ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS; PUBLISHES ARTICLES IN BOTH CONSUMER AND PROFESSIONAL PUBLICATIONS; AND PARTICIPATES IN LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL CONFERENCES AND EVENTS. THROUGH ALL OF THESE ACTIVITIES, NEFF AIMS TO FOSTER INCREASED LANDOWNER AND PUBLIC APPRECIATION OF THE MANY BENEFITS THAT FORESTS PROVIDE THE CITIZENS OF NEW ENGLAND, AND THE ROLE OF FOREST CONSERVATION AND EXEMPLARY FORESTRY MANAGEMENT IN FOSTERING AND ENHANCING THOSE BENEFITS.


TO PROTECT FORESTS FROM FRAGMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT, NEFF ACQUIRES LAND AND CONSERVATION EASEMENTS BY BOTH DONATION AND PURCHASE. TO DATE WE OWN MORE THAN 140 COMMUNITY FORESTS CONSERVING MORE THAN 30,000 ACRES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. WE ALSO HOLD MORE THAN 150 CONSERVATIONEASEMENTS THAT PROTECT AND PROVIDE FOR SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF MORE THAN 1.1 MILLION ACRES OF FOREST LAND OWNED BY PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS AND FOREST PRODUCTS COMPANIES IN SEVEN STATES.


CONSERVATION DOES NOT STOP ONCE A FOREST OR EASEMENT IS ACQUIRED. NEFF CONDUCTS ANNUAL MONITORING SURVEYS WITH ALL LANDOWNERS WITH WHOM WE HOLD AN EASEMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE TERMS OF THE EASEMENT ARE MAINTAINED. WE WORK WITH LOCAL FORESTERS THROUGHOUT NEW ENGLAND TO SUSTAINABLY MANAGE OUR COMMUNITY FORESTS, DEMONSTRATING HIGH-QUALITY FOREST PRACTICES AND PROVIDING A SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY OF WOOD, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, AND JOBS TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES. FORESTS CONSERVED BY NEFF SEQUESTER CARBON AND THROUGH THAT SEQUESTRATION CAN PROVIDE CARBON CREDITS FOR CO2 EQUIVALENTS WHICH CAN BE SOLD VIA A CARBON MARKET, PROVIDING ADDITIONAL REVENUES FOR CONSERVATION.
