One of the most simple and efficient ways to donate to American Forests is by contributing through Earth Share in your workplace charity campaign. Earth Share manages environmental giving campaigns in workplaces for environmental and conservation charities.

By contributing to American Forests through Earth Share, you may pledge that a small amount of each paycheck be automatically deducted to help grow a healthier world with trees and forests. In addition, your payroll deduction contribution can count as your membership to American Forests.
