The National Alliance of Forest Owners (NAFO) is a trade association that represents private working forest owners across the United States.[1] NAFO advocates for federal policy related to America’s working forests, including the advancement of innovative forest products like mass timber[2], market-based solutions for increasing forest carbon sequestration and storage to address climate change[3], conservation easement programs [4][5], and public-private partnerships to conserve wildlife on private working forests[6][7]
NAFO is governed by a board of directors drawn from forestry companies, tribal leadership, and forestry associations; among them: Weyerhaeuser Company, PotlatchDeltic, Sierra Pacific Industries, the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, Society of American Foresters, and Forest Landowners Association.[8]
NAFO is an organizational partner of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.[9]
History
Until NAFO’s formation in 2008, private working forest owners were represented by the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA), which now represents pulp and paper manufacturers.[10]
Wildlife Conservation
NAFO members partner with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement, and a variety of other stakeholders through the Wildlife Conservation Initiative (WCI).[11][12][13] In 2023, the Biden Administration identified NAFO and the WCI during their 2023 Conservation in Action Summit as a partnership to accelerate the conservation of at-risk species within private working forests nationwide.[14]
Wildfire
In March 2023, NAFO and the United States Forest Service announced a memorandum of understanding creating a partnership to enhance cooperation between NAFO members and public land managers during initial attack on wildfires.[15]
On February 27, 2024, NAFO and the United States Forest Service announced an agreement to combat the wildfire crisis through enhanced fuel break coordination. The partnership seeks to safeguard natural resources, communities, and infrastructure by enabling NAFO member companies to construct NEPA-ready fuel breaks on National Forest System land as an extension to fuel breaks on adjacent NAFO member land.[16]
