U.S. Forest Service Flag
Founded in 1905 under the leadership of Gifford Pinchot and President Theodore Roosevelt, the U.S. Forest Service is a division of the Department of Agriculture charged with managing public lands in national forests and grasslands. Its mission—to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of these lands for present and future generations—has made it a cornerstone of American conservation. From wildfire prevention and wilderness protection to outdoor recreation and timber management, the Forest Service serves millions of Americans every year. We’re proud to support this vital work with official U.S. Forest Service flags that honor the agency’s legacy and mission.
The U.S. Forest Service Flag Design
The U.S. Forest Service flag features the agency’s classic green and gold shield emblem prominently displayed at the center of a forest green field. The emblem bears the words “Forest Service” and “U.S. Department of Agriculture” in bold gold lettering, along with a symbolic pine tree representing natural resources and environmental guardianship. The colors—green for nature and gold for stewardship—are deeply tied to the Forest Service’s identity. Clean, iconic, and rooted in history, this flag proudly represents more than a century of forest conservation, wildfire resilience, and public land protection across the United States.
