Our Mission
The Model Forest Policy Program is a non-profit, educational organization whose mission is to promote sustainable forests thru profitable, ecological forestry practice and policy. Our unique approach focuses on developing government policy that addresses the practical needs of all key constituents; local and state government leaders (policy makers), concerned citizens, landowners and traditional and alternative forest products businesses. We provide policy-making tools (recommended language and tool kit, expertise, supportive material, network building, and training) that are based on sound, scientifically verified and economically viable solutions already tested in the industry.

MFPP is committed to ensuring forests for future generations by creating strong policies that reinforce stewardship of private forestland. We provide decision-makers, citizens, loggers and advocacy groups with…
• A forest policy-making “Tool Kit”
• Key peer reviewed publications
• An active communications network
• Seminars on sustainable logging
• Annual Forest Summit
• Capacity building
• Advisory Committee of respected scientists, economists, foresters, and attorneys offers technical guidance for developing model forest policy, and particularly, state forest practice laws.
