MFA Believes
- Forests can be managed to supply consumer products, such as lumber, veneer,
paper products, furniture, edible foods and much more...
- At the same time, forests can provide non-consumptive benefits, such as
wildlife habitat, clean air, quality water, soil protection, recreation and
aesthetic values...
- That information and incentives are more efficient and effective than
regulations in promoting good forest practices.
Michigan Forest Association also helps sponsor the
Michigan Forest Foundation, a non-profit corporation founded in 1988 to
receive tax deductible donations to further forest management education and wise
use of all our natural resources. Michigan Forest Foundation publishes
Green Gold: Michigan Forest History
magazine and a video
of the same title, cooperates with Michigan Forest Resource Alliance on
classroom education and mails educational materials periodically to over 200
classrooms.
