MFA was formed in 1938 to guard and grow Mississippi’s forests, and that is still our goal today. Since 1938 MFA members have been the leaders in forestry conservation, management and education so that we can use our state’s greatest natural resource for our needs today and ensure that the forests will be in better condition for future generations. We go to great lengths to educate and inform Mississippians about forestry because if we don’t, all the knowledge, innovation, and progress will be lost.
Many of our education efforts go towards children. As responsible conservationists, MFA members want children to continue the legacy of responsible forestland conservation for many generations to come. It is also a priority to inspire children to appreciate the forestland that provides such abundant benefits for Mississippians. MFA is currently involved in raising funds and designing the interactive forestry exhibit for Mississippi Children's Museum. If you would like more information on how you can help, email MFA.
