BENEFIT
A return on your investment…
The Arkansas Forestry Association works hard on its members’ behalf to be the voice of forestry in Arkansas. Since 1947, AFA has been the only nonprofit organization representing the state’s entire forestry community.
AFA has a strong presence in state and federal public policy arenas through lobbying and grass-roots efforts. Protecting private property rights, the right to practice forestry and maintaining a healthy business climate for manufacturing are tantamount to AFA’s mission: The Arkansas Forestry Association advocates the sustainable use and sound stewardship of Arkansas’s forests and related resources to benefit the state’s forestry community and all Arkansans, today and in the future.
