American Forests American Forests is the nation's oldest nonprofit citizens' conservation organization and a world leader in planting trees for environmental restoration, a pioneer in the science and practice of urban forestry, and a primary communicator of the benefits of trees and forests. American Forests is a leading proponent of community-based forestry in the United States, providing workshops; publications and other resources to help people in communities use their resources in exciting new ways. The Home Depot Foundation is providing support for the Katrina ReLeaf Fund. In 2005 Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast destroying much of the area¹s urban and rural tree canopy. The Katrina ReLeaf Fund, will provide grants to communities to replant trees whose shade and other benefits are vital to restoring livability. An advisory committee with representatives from Gulf state and federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and donors will aid the Fund and set priorities for distribution of resources.
