Let's Grow Together!

​

Since 1976, the Maryland Forests Association has served the needs of the state's forest community. We work tirelessly to advocate for private property rights, sensible regulations, and healthy markets by promoting sustainable forest management and wood products. We believe in working forests, and know that forestland in Maryland can be retained when landowners are incentivized - the forest that pays, stays! Please, consider joining MFA today!
