The New Jersey Forestry Association and Rutgers Cooperative Extension will initiate “A Walk in the Woods” program that will assist woodland owners to sustainably manage their woods. The “Walks” will be held for two to three hours on weekday or Saturday mornings, on either privately- or publicly-owned properties, depending on the subject matter. Topics will vary.

The New Jersey Forestry Association was founded in 1975 and incorporated in 1983 to promote forestry and forest management on public and privately owned woodlands throughout New Jersey. There is a need for an organization which can act as a spokesperson and advocate for woodland owners, conservationists and others interested in maintaining our forests. We welcome all people who share these values and concerns to join our Association and participate in our varied activities and programs.

Activities

The Association publishes the “New Jersey Woodlands” newsletter quarterly, conducts an annual business meeting and program, sponsors or co-sponsors a number of forestry field trips, seminars, workshops and tree planting projects during the year, is a co-sponsor of The New Jersey Tree Farm Program, and works jointly with public and private conservation groups.
