Who We Are

We are an association of landowners who are the stewards of America’s private forests. Our members manage their land with a sustainable approach, ensuring the prosperity of their forests for future generations. They range from large forest businesses whose land has been in their families for generations to those who have become forest landowners because they view forests as a long-term investment.

“So much was accomplished last year. For the near future, I’d say Endangered Species Act reform and deductions for casualty losses remain my top priorities, and what I hope to see pursued by the FLA.”
