Massachusetts Forest Alliance 

Vision

Our vision is a Massachusetts where:

• a strong forest economy is widely regarded as a vital component of social, economic, and environmental well-being
• forest management is recognized as a responsible and desirable approach to resource conservation
• native forest products are an integral part of the  ‘Buy Local’ movement
• the legal and regulatory environment sustains forest land ownership and encourages the forest products economy to thrive
• landowners and the forest products industry participate in all phases of decisions about the state’s public and private forest resources

To fulfill its mission, MFA will:

• work with state, regional, and local officials to ensure a sensible legal and regulatory environment
• provide continuing education opportunities for landowners, foresters, timber harvesters, and public officials
• promote understanding of forest management and forest policy issues by providing high-quality information in a variety of formats
