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, biomass, roadways, and many more regulations that affect our membership.
This year’s Massachusetts Tree Farm Field Day will be held in northern Worcester County at the Feldman Family’s Tree Farm on Briggs Road in Athol on Saturday, October 20th, from 9 am to 3:30 pm.
Want to see how young woodlands evolve as they regrow following a harvest or other major disturbance. If you do, plan to attend the Mass Forest Trust’s Young Forests Tour in Ashfield and Hawley on Saturday, October 13th.
Landowners who want to create more diverse habitats for wildlife but don’t have the money to do so should consider applying for a MassWildlife Habitat Management Grant.
