Mission:
The mission of Native Forest Council is to fully protect and preserve every acre
of publicly owned land in the United States.
Our Motive:
Native Forest Council is dedicated to the preservation
and protection of all publicly owned natural resources from destructive
practices, sales, and all resource extraction. Commercial timber sales,
grazing, mining, and oil and gas extraction all contribute to the destruction
and degradation of air quality, wildlife habitat, and of our wilderness
areas. We believe a sound economy and a sound environment need not be
incompatible, and that current land management practices are devastating
to both.
Our People:
Native Forest Council is a nonprofit, tax-deductible organization founded
by a group of business and professional people alarmed by the willful
destruction of our national forests.
Our Plan:
Native Forest Council is dedicated to the democratic ideal that an informed
citizenry can work together to effect positive change. We are committed to
educating the public about these problems, utilizing over 84% for programs
while using only 14% for fundraising and only 4% for administration.
Our Funding:
Native Forest Council is made possible by the generous,
tax-deductable contributions of members and businesses. In 2001, 88% of
our funding came from contributions, 11% from grants and 1% from other
sources. Please see our 2001
financial report.
