Focus on the Forest

Focus on the Forest is dedicated to cleaning up OUR National Forests using alternative solutions to motivate and enable communities to keep OUR public lands clean. The FoF motto continues to be “ONE Piece at a Time” and this is how In 5 short years volunteers have removed over 425,000 lbs of trash, over 600 tires, completed mass cleanups with 200+ people, hotspot cleanups, removed abandoned trailers, created both a Graffiti Removal Team and also an Abandoned Campfire team. FoF partners with the US Forest Service and collaborates with numerous environmental groups and OHV clubs. FoF has over 3,400 followers on Facebook. and continues to still be 100% volunteers. FoF has expanded from Teller County to the surrounding counties (El Paso, Chaffee, Park, Douglas and Jefferson).
