Helping Private Forest Landowners: The North Central Forest Landowners Association Information and Free Workshop

Do you own land in Cameron, Elk, Mckean, or Potter County, PA?

Want to learn more about being a good steward of your forest land? Join the North Central Forest Landowners Association.

We are a non-profit organization providing education on sustainable forest management. The association is for private forest landowners of 5 or more acres who are interested in learning more about caring for their land.

Learn how to get the most value from your timberland while preserving the woodland’s future value, and learn how to manage your woodland. Members can attend practical forestry lectures and workshops provided by professionals in the field on a variety of forestry and wildlife habitat topics.

All members receive regular informative newsletters and event flyers. The association also provides many opportunities to meet with other private forest landowners who can share experiences and help you identify and meet your own management objectives.
