Green Horizons

Wooded land doesn’t have to cover hundreds or thousands of acres to provide richness and diversity of life. Smaller acreages can have big impacts too!

If you are one of the 6 million landowners in the United States who own 1 to 10 acres, then the Backyard Woods program is for you.

Whether you want to enhance the scenery in your backyard woods, provide superb habitat for wildlife, or even utilize your land as an extra source of income, the Backyard Woods program can assist in bringing your vision to life.

A cooperative project of the USDA Forest Service, Northeastern Area; the National Association of Conservation Districts; and the National Arbor Day Foundation, Backyard Woods inspires landowners with a 44-page guide and detailed tip sheets that cover 12 topics. Learn how to develop a master plan, protect property from wildfire, plant properly, and much more.
