We think the future of American business will be green—and we’re not alone. Every year, thousands of U.S. entrepreneurs look for responsible new ways to put our natural resources to work. They create jobs while sustaining the forests and open space that preserve clean air and water for all of us. New jobs in communities that depend on these working lands help ensure we’ll have green forests, ranches and farms in the future. Without creative conservation, the US Forest Service says 26 million acres of working farms and forests – an area the size of Ohio – could disappear before 2030.
