Washington Farm Forestry Association (WFFA) is an organization of small forest landowners.
Our goals are:
- to provide educational programs for our members to help them manage their forest land better;
- to be a voice representing small forest landowners in Olympia;
- to promote fair taxation and regulation on the federal, state, and local government levels so that forest management can continue for generations to come;
- to increase public awareness of family-owned forests.
