Founded in 1941, The American Tree Farm System is a nation-wide program encouraging private forest owners to do an effective job of growing trees as a crop.

A Tree Farm is a privately-owned forest, managed to produce continuous crops of trees with added benefits of improved wildlife habitat, watershed protection, outdoor recreation, and esthetic value.

Certified Tree Farmers receive a Tree Farm certificate and sign. They also can subscribe to THE AMERICAN TREE FARMER magazine.
