MFA’s members come from a wide variety of backgrounds and professions. Nearly 60
percent of our membership is composed of individual members, with the remaining
40 percent of members being businesses, hunt clubs, recreational groups, allied
agencies and organizations.
Forest landowners and natural resources professionals comprise the two largest
individual categories. Many of our forest landowner members are Maryland Tree
Farmers®. Natural resource professionals include consulting foresters, industrial
foresters, state employees, educators, wildlife biologists, forest ecologists, and
hydrologists. Another section of our membership is that of Hunt Clubs and
Recreational Groups. These range from small family run programs to larger clubs
with dozens of members.
Our business members include both small logging and equipment businesses that
have been family owned and operated for generations, and larger sawmill companies
and forest products corporations that are the backbone of the forest products
industry in Maryland. These companies and their employees are dedicated to
assuring the supply of needed forest products while working to protect the
environment and sustain the forest resource.
