Initiatives
Tree Farm
A Tree Farm is a woodland that is managed to grow forest products, protect important resources and wildlife habitats, while safeguarding our environment.
Modern Wood Heat
What is Modern Wood Heat?
People worldwide have heated with wood for thousands of years. New Englanders are no exception and have long depended on native forests to provide wood for warmth. But set aside old images of the inefficient fireplace and smoking wood stove. New technology has made wood burning appliances a truly modern way to use this traditional fuel.

Setting the Record Straight on Wendell State Forest
Read moreLike many of our members, MFA has been monitoring the situation in Wendell State Forest, where a group has been protesting against DCR’s forest management work. Things heated up in August when John H. Conkey and Sons Logging returned to Wendell to finish the job that was started last fall. Like you, we’ve been disturbed by the protesters’ tactics, including approaching working logging equipment in an extremely dangerous manner.
