The North Carolina Forestry Association (NCFA) is a private non-profit organization with ties to every aspect of forestry and the forest products industry in North Carolina. The association is the voice for the industry in our state, committed to ensuring that the impact of forestry is felt and heard from the mountains to the coast.
If you are currently a student or educator in North Carolina, you can join the NCFA and benefit from our many resources for free.
North Carolina’s 18.6 million acres of forestland cover 60% of the state and support its largest manufacturing sector by employment and wages: the forest products industry.
Thanks to responsible management and stewardship by NCFA members and partners, the state now has twice as much forestland as it did 70 years ago.
As North Carolina’s oldest forest conservation organization, NCFA promotes sound public policy, environmental education, and professional training to ensure the long-term health and productivity of our forests.
Forestry Mutual Insurance is proudly endorsed by the NCFA as the preferred provider of North Carolina Workers' Compensation Coverage for the wood products industry. To learn more, visit Forestry Mutual.
