Welcome! The New York Society of American Foresters is the State Chapter of  the Society of American Foresters, the national scientific and educational organization representing the forestry profession in the United States. Our members are leaders in providing credible science and professional management of forest resources, conducting targeted research, and creating relevant policies to ensure our Nation's forests are indeed "growing better all the time". We seek to sustain and protect a variety of forest uses and attributes, such as aesthetic values, air and water quality, biodiversity, recreation, timber production and wildlife habitat. This site, regularly updated, describes the New York Society, its many activities, and provides a forum to all those engaged in the broad field of forestry.

We invite you to register as a guest and explore our site in greater depth. By registering, you will be given limited access to the Members Only sections of the site, where you can learn more about the science and management of New York's forest resource. Enjoy!
