President ImageWelcome to the website of the Forest Landowners Association. Our programs and benefits will assist you in realizing the maximum value from your land; be it financial return, recreation, wildlife, aesthetic enjoyment, or some combination.

Our current key benefits are our award-winning magazine, Forest Landowner, our governmental affairs programs for national legislative and regulatory issues, our national conferences and regional landowner meetings, and our landowner insurance programs.

Forest Landowner magazine has articles that cover a variety of subjects, including pine and hardwood timber management from planting to harvesting, wildlife management, sustainability improvement, and compensation for socially desirable forest values.

FLA’s government affairs program is charged with maintaining and promoting the interests of private forest landowners in legislative and regulatory arenas. Our numerous member volunteers, in conjunction with our lobbyist, are increasingly successful in orienting new national legislation and regulation to be more helpful to forest owners. This program critically depends on our members contacting their congressional representatives to let them know the feelings of those back home. In this regard, we are improving our website to make it much easier to follow key issues, and to contact your representatives in Congress.

Our conferences are changing in scope and complexity to bring our members current information on forestry issues that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. Our 2008 conference in Chicago will focus on new payments for forest values and will include sessions on the latest information on forestry management. Our regional landowner meetings will continue to focus on issues that are of timely importance to the region, as well as some items of national interest.

Our insurance programs provide hunt lease and vacant land insurance with benefits and rates that other companies find hard to match. In addition, we will unveil at least one new insurance program before the end of the year. 

For the future, we are developing additional new programs that will assist our members in making their forests more productive, improve the markets for their products, and inform our neighbors about the benefits of well planned forestry, whether the objectives are timber harvesting, recreation, wildlife, or the aesthetic enjoyment of the land and forests.

We look forward to your joining with us to enjoy the member benefits, to let us help you add value to your land, and to be part of the best national organization for private forest landowners.

Sincerely,
