Mission Statement
The New Jersey Forestry Association is dedicated to the wise use and management of the State’s forest land resource in a manner which will provide many products and services for the benefits of all our citizens, now and for future generations. These include economic and environmental benefits such as wood products, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, watershed protection, air purification, soil stabilization, temperature amelioration, windbreaks, urban buffers and landscape beautification. We believe these values are most important to New Jersey in the face of its continued rapid growth and urbanization.
