	NFN - About Us
		The Native Forest Network (NFN), founded in 1992, is a non-profit conservation organization whose mission is to protect and restore forests and wild places.
		The Native Forest Network and other conservation organizations are working to promote bona-fide, ecologically based restoration projects which put people in rural communities to work conducting road removal and watershed restoration activities.
		Unfortunately, because the Forest Service’s budgets are still tied to industrial logging and resource extraction – not forest protection and restoration – the public’s clean water, wildlife habitat, wildlands and recreational opportunities continue to be squandered.

		In 1919 the Government established the State Forest Service (later the New Zealand Forest Service) with the task of planting fast growing exotic trees such as radiata pine to satisfy some of the demand for timber and slow the felling of the native forests.
