MFA would like your input on the elements on the proposed Sustainable Forests Act for 2009. MFA in conjunction with the Partnership for Sustainable Forestry (PSF) has been working on this legislation as a result of the outcomes of numerous forest commissions and reports. This is our opportunity to significantly impact the future of all Maryland's working landscapes. We need quality constructive input from all areas of interest in the long-term maintenance of our forests. Please send your comments to Gary Allen, coordinator for the PSF and copy MFA too. Thank you for helping to keeping our forests in forest.
