Established as a state agency in 1924, the
mission of the Alabama Forestry Commission
is three-fold: to Protect the Forests from
all harmful agents; to Service and Help
Landowners to carry out responsible forest
management on their property, using
professional technical assistance so as to
benefit themselves, their land and society;
and to Educate the General Public about the
value of our forests in insuring both a
healthy economy and environment. We do this
in the most efficient and cost effective way
possible.
The Forestry Commission is governed by a seven member Board of
Commissioners appointed by the Governor of Alabama.
