A Tree Farm is a woodland that is managed to grow forest products, protect important resources and wildlife habitats, while safeguarding our environment.
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.
The Massachusetts Forest Alliance represents and advocates on behalf of forest landowners, industry professionals, businesses, and others who support a strong, sustainable forest economy in the Commonwealth. MFA works on a variety of policy initiatives, including tax programs, property zoning, modern wood heat, forest management, and many more regulations that affect our membership.
The state Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs declared August 13th that there is a Level 2 drought in all seven regions of the state. Officials are asking the public to conserve water and to be careful because of an increased risk of brush fires.
Anyone working or visiting the woods in Massachusetts during times when mosquitos are out should now take precautions against getting Triple E (Eastern Equine Encephalitis).
The coronavirus has disrupted everything in Massachusetts this spring, and this year’s Tree Farm assessment was no different.
