MFA's Vision is to serve as the "Voice of Forestry" in Mississippi. Our Mission is leading diverse groups to promote landowner rights, environmental stewardship, member prosperity, and community understanding. MFA members and staff work to accomplish our Mission by conducting public affairs, communication, and education programs that will foster better understanding and appreciation of conservation, development and use of forestland and resources.
Mississippi Forestry Association, organized in 1938, is a not-for-profit organization representing a broad range of members in Mississippi’s forestry community such as timberland owners, professional foresters, logging contractors, forest products manufacturers, wood fiber suppliers, state and federal agencies, and suppliers of products and services.
