Trees and Forests in Massachusetts clean our air and drinking water, cool and beautify our communities, provide habitat for wildlife, and provide us with a source of renewable materials for our homes and our economy.

Since 1970, the Massachusetts Forest Landowners Association has worked for the conservation and stewardship of trees and forests in the Commonwealth. Because privately-owned woodlands make up 75 percent of the 3 million acres of woodlands in Massachusetts, it is critical that forest landowners be able to continue to manage and care for their woodlands in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner.
