Forests
Today, more is known about the importance of forests and trees to our environment, community, and economy than ever before. Founded on the principles of Gifford Pinchot, the first Chief of the US
Forest Service, the Pinchot Institute strives to provide critical
information pertaining to our forests internationally. Because forests play a significant role in establishing a sense of place and contributing to community quality of life, the Pinchot Institute is working diligently to sustain healthy forests and the resources they provide for generations to come.

Stewardship Contracting
Stewardship Contracting is a valuable tool to address concerns about
forest health issues while also meeting the needs of rural,
forest-based communities. The Pinchot Institute and the US Forest
Service have been working with communities since 2004 on multiple
forest sustainability projects to meet the needs of both the forests
and the people.

Forest Certification
The past 15 years have seen increasing landowner interest in independent, third-party certification as a means to ensure and demonstrate conservation-minded forest management. Along the way the Pinchot Institute has helped public agencies, First Nations, corporations, and universities test certification on their lands. We specialize in assessing certification systems and in helping landowners understand how they can be applied on their forestlands.
