Forest & Woodland Association of Missouri

We promote good management of Missouri woodlands, advocate for sound forestry legislation and educate the public on the importance of healthy and sustainable woodlands. They serve as homes to some of our region’s most precious plants and animal species, and are places where every Missourian can go to find inspiration, peace and open space. Standing in the middle of an area forest on a crisp Octobe

r day, beneath the crimson reds, golden yellows and vibrant purples of oak and hickory trees, you really can understand what it means to connect with the land. But these living, breathing monuments to our state’s history, culture and landscape need care and support to overcome the many dangers that threaten to destroy them forever. At the Forest & Woodland Association of Missouri, we work every day to ensure our forests and woodlands get that vital care and support. Our members include private woodland owners, natural resource professionals and other Missourians interested in supporting our mission of safeguarding our state’s scenic beauty. We advocate on behalf of our landowner members for forestry legislation, educate the public about the importance of Missouri forests and inform people about issues concerning our forests and woodlands. We promote productive and sustainable management of our
forests and trees so they will remain healthy and beautiful for future generations.
