NEFF's education and outreach work fosters the public policies and private actions needed to conserve and sustainably manage New England's privately owned forests forest through public walks; volunteer training sessions; workshops for the public and forest professionals; and development of print, web, email and social media-based communications of important themes and developments regarding New England's forests.Desc

DescTo 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 26,000 acres across New England. We also hold more than 140 conservation easements 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.Desc

Revenue$420,205RevenueAmt
DescConservation 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.Desc

The Foundation accrues interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Foundation files federal and Massachusetts tax returns.
