American Forestry Association

The American Forestry Association (AFA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the sustainable management and conservation of forests in the United States. Established in 1875, it advocates for responsible forestry practices, educates the public about the importance of forests, and supports policies that protect forest ecosystems. The AFA collaborates with various stakeholders, including government agencies, landowners, and conservation groups, to ensure that forests provide ecological, economic, and social benefits now and for future generations. Its aim is to balance the needs of people with the health of forest environments.
