Our Story
The 500 Year Forest Foundation is dedicated to the preservation of old-growth forests, which are vital for biodiversity and ecological balance. These ancient ecosystems serve as refuges for countless plant and animal species, playing a crucial role in purifying water, enhancing groundwater recharge, generating oxygen, and storing carbon. The foundation's mission focuses on protecting these irreplaceable forests, especially in the Eastern states where they are increasingly threatened by human activity and climate change.
