COUNTY FORESTRY ASSOCIATIONS
County Forestry Associations, CFA’s have their own identity and individuality while working closely with TFA at the state level. CFA's serve as a great tool within your local community to promote and educate landowners, teachers, media and the general public in the use of Best Management Practices (BMP's) and sustainable forestry and a wide array of topic sessions, such as legislative information, critter control, wildlife management and water quality.
CFA's tailor their meetings according to the local area and what landowners are most interested in. If you are interested in joining a local chapter, see below for an UT Extension Agent in your area.
