Adding Value to Your Forestry Business

The Georgia Forestry Association is focused on driving value to the entire forestry supply chain, including the business owners that provide essential services to landowners, loggers and forest product manufacturers. As a GFA member, it is our promise to keep you and your business protected, connected and empowered. Here are just a few ways that we are driving value back to your business.


Networking and Education

Connecting you to more than 500 potential clients. The Annual Conference and Forestry Expo provides an opportunity to network and promote your business with more than 500 attendees that represent various sectors of the supply chain.

Positioning you as a subject matter expert. Specialized seminars and events, such as the Forest Logistics Summit, Gopher Tortoise Symposium and Property Tax Forum provide a unique opportunity to be positioned as an expert in forest management, tax, accounting, logistics and more.

Communications and Marketing

Connecting you with potential clients

  • As a member, you will be added to the GFA website as a forestry expert – providing you with the opportunity to connect with members and non-members who are looking for services.
  • The Georgia Forestry Magazine is distributed four times per year to more than 10,000 forestry contacts. By choosing to advertise in this publication you are given access to a network that extends well beyond GFA’s internal membership.

Telling the Forestry Story

We are focused on building a better informed public that is supportive of working forests and your business. GFA is focused on highlighting careers in forestry with engaging content and virtual reality experiences for all public school students through a partnership with Georgia Public Broadcasting and the Georgia Forestry Foundation.

Local, State & Federal Advocacy

Providing you with unique access to the political process. Through ForestPAC, GFA’s political action committee, and Forest Resource Teams (or FORT), our grassroots network, members are provided with the opportunity to engage in the political process with one voice through the forestry community.
