New Jersey Forestry Association, Inc.

A non-profit tax-exempt organization under IRS 501(c)(3)

The NJFA is the essential advocate for woodland owners, conservationists and others interested in maintaining New Jersey’s forests.  If you value New Jersey’s forests – whether or not you are a landowner – and want to support our efforts, we welcome you to join the NJFA, participate in our activities and programs or donate (or all three!).

Founded in 1975, the NJFA is the only statewide organization supporting the sustainability and resiliency of NJ’s public and private forests through forestry education, and science-based forest management.  The NJFA hosts several programs, including Backyard Forestry in 90 Minutes, Walk-in-the-Woods, Tree Planting, and NJ Woodland Stewards; tracks, monitors, and provides input on legislation and rulemaking affecting NJ’s forests and woodland owners; produces member newsletters; collaborates with conservation and outdoor organizations, governmental units, and educational institutions; and hosts an annual meeting.  The NJFA is the go-to resource for legislators, agencies and other non-profits seeking comments on legislation and activities affecting NJ’s forests, and works jointly with public and private conservation groups.  The NJFA is, through legislation and rulemaking, named to several committees involved in forestry, stewardship and taxation, and served as one of the four co-chairs of the NJ Forest Task Force.   The NJFA’s volunteer board, officers and committee members include forest landowners, forest professionals, educators and scientists.
