Minnesota Forestry Association

Our goal is to be a valuable resource for Minnesota’s more than private woodland owners. In addition to woodland owners, our constituents include foresters, loggers, educators, businesses, sportsmen/women, conservation organizations, and concerned citizens. We host workshops and field tours where woodland owners can learn about how to be a good steward of their land, and network with other like-minded landowners and forestry professionals. We try to share the latest information through our newsletter, annual meeting, and website. We also work with the state and local partners to advocate for responsible forest stewardship, and provide tools and technical assistance to landowners. Call Before You Cut (CBYC) is a free program for all Minnesota’s family and individual woodland owners who want guidance and advice on determining if a woodland timber harvest is the right for them. With the support of the Minnesota DNR, the Minnesota Forestry Association provides up to a half-day walkthrough of your woods by a professional forester at no cost to you.
