Natural Partners

THOR Industries & The National Forest Foundation

About Our Partnership

Our public lands serve as nature's playground, offering us a place to connect with the outdoors and with each other while doing the activities we love. Now more than ever, it’s essential to protect and care for these treasured spaces. That's why THOR Industries, the world’s leading RV manufacturer, has joined forces with the National Forest Foundation to bring this work to life through initiatives such as tree planting, youth programs, habitat rehabilitation, forest restoration, and campground enhancements. Together, these efforts aim to make our forests safer and more accessible for campers of today and tomorrow.

The continued partnership between THOR and the National Forest Foundation is not just vital to the infrastructure of our National Forests—it plays a key role in the modernization and preservation of the beloved spaces where we recreate. Discover how these outdoor industry leaders have come together with a shared, critical mission: to safeguard our public lands for the future enjoyment of campers and outdoor enthusiasts for generations to come.

The National Forest Foundation, chartered by Congress, engages Americans in community-based and national programs that promote the health and public enjoyment of the 193-million-acre National Forest System, and administers private gifts of funds and land for the benefit of the National Forests.
