Forestry Association of South Carolina

The Palmetto State’s $21 billion forestry industry owes much of its success to the Forestry Association of South Carolina. The Association sets out to create and enhance a world where both of the following things can happen at the same time: the state’s forests can continue to grow and thrive, and some of the wood from those forests can be used to upgrade the local infrastructure.

Georgia Forestry Association

The GFA’s mission is to enhance the value of Georgia’s Forestry Sector, and it has been operating with that mission in mind for over a century. The GFA wants to return value to those who made an investment in the Peach State, a demographic that covers every component of the supply chain- loggers, log truckers, professional service firms, seedling nurseries, and forestry consultants.

Approximately half of the terrain in the state of Florida is forestry, and the Florida Forestry Association exists to protect that forestry- and help landowners work with it. The FFA also serves as an elite network of professionals in the forestry industry, which helps promote the message of utilizing the forestry’s resources in a responsible, sustainable, and reasonable fashion.

The Alabama Forestry Association was formed in 1949 to represent the interest of the state’s sawmill companies and soon expanded to include forestry members from the stump to the mill. Today, AFA is a membership organization comprised of forest products companies, landowners, loggers, wood suppliers, foresters, and others with a stake in Alabama’s forest economy.
