Local affiliates of the Mississippi Forestry Association are active in most of Mississippi's counties, especially counties where timber is one of the leading crops. The members of these local organizations include landowners, businesspeople, forestry consultants, forest industry representatives, and anyone else interested in forestry.

Each county association plans meetings, industry tours, field days, and other events suited to the needs of the local members. Special opportunities for involvement in forestry-related activities also occur from time to time, such as regional legislative expos, political forums, teacher training, career days, and educational seminars.

Officers and directors of the county chapters are members of the state association as well the local association, and each county association president serves on the Mississippi Forestry Association Board of Directors.

The following counties have County Forestry Associations:

MFA pays a $500 reward to persons providing information leading to arrest and conviction of felons setting woods fires. MFA works closely with the Mississippi Forestry Commission and law enforcement officials, and our county forestry association affiliates.
